You Can Imaginehow I carefor edge. The clouds, for instance, Their fervent loosening -- How I long to learn that! The blue between, where the constant dissembling occurs, A practice I would emulate. Moisture I long for -- my skin grown tight. A dock, a wharf, the sails furled, but luffing in the rising breeze -- What would I give for the salt air, the mineral waters? I was born to come in on a swell, pulling out hard. I was born to roll in with the surf, Becoming what is left behind, Then, what is gathered in. |
