S E D I M E N T

your warm gaze
and chartreuse set
this light that billows light

A laughter that scatters and pink
sea stars adorn the wave break
this tide that swells
this water hides

For cheery days that were upon the very
we of us
thatched roofs of sediment sunshine
and rust
like teary tangerine tears to kiss
and feel the wind tug amongst our
amulets on leather leads
that tempo swayed
in lovemakers dreams

now yea lay me down to rest
beneath the holy waters missed
my bones too weary in the mists
to break this spell of winters
grist

(and peat fires murmur in the
furnace bed and your hot kettle
hisses..)

search for me in your dune grass
repose
the stern winds that sweep against
your pose
I will be your whitecaps waving
like sailor souls
for mermaid shoals
