      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Heavenly Seduction

      Heavenly seduction

      Love draws you to me,

      like the pull of a luminous moon,

      an irresistible force

      seducing the tide to rise from its ocean bed

      and join the celestial body in heavenly union.

      Driftwood

      I found you by chance

      like a piece of driftwood

      buffeted and bleached

      an unexpected gift, a weary traveller

      seemingly abandoned

      carried by strong seas, origin unknown

      destination a mystery.

      Though gnarled and twisted by unforgiving elements

      the protective exterior of your birth
