This Is A Picture Of Me Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is your body
that makes a steel feeling of my drifting presence

i become present
totally beneath you

when i see the wetness of your hair
i feel the earth and grass inside me

there is rain in my head
there is mud on my feet

do not walk away yet
i still have many items to offer

there is fire in my eyes
there is a commotion in my belly
i love to dance with you
in my life
tonight

no, nothing is eternal
