headless lovers

cinque terre 2019

i reply to you

if you’ve taken root

how lucky i am to weep

at trees so madly

you gave a flower

one morning

in the plum yard

it was November

i carried it with me

into December

our feet

floating on the sea

in January

winds whispering for transparency

how surprisingly sharp seaweed can be

when it’s searching for certainty

now s|he gives it

perhaps that's how

love can lay

reciprocally

some endless waltz

between

(you

me

&

the

sea)
