We're Half-Now, Half-Forever Poem by Eli Spivakovsky

Ice ribbons around icebergs: a calendar to date it with
and star-tipped
and snow-capped
and split clouds of cumulonimbus

now over the Ocean enigmatic
clouds of water fall and rise
Spirals of coral, iridescent sea snails
sea slopes of shimmering eels

the ocean swells and takes us with it
we're going to the heart of all the waves
there you wait for me knowingly
and when I arrive you award me
with a necklace of pearl and margarite

We're half now, half forever
we're here for now, but will
become classic in time
Look how the sky imagines the Ocean
they glide and glissade towards each other

The ocean grows and spills over
And my heart is big enough for it all
when I am with you
your eyes like flakes of diamond flint
your eyes the colour of hummingbirds
with their luster and their dazzle
consort me

Oh my love, Oh my love
Let's dive more deeply still
and let us ride dolphins
holding on to their dorsal fins
carving up the floor into avenues
collapsing into ravishment
