LOVE WAVES

1. Is it her quietus
that she roars in herself
like a sea
waves upon waves
leaps upon herself


2. Crazy these people
don't know how to go down
with the swirl and up
with the whirl but play
in raging water

3. Gentle like a dove
love was graceful a night away
on the white wave it's
a sea searching ways leaps to
eternity tonight

4. Is it the heat wave
or stupor that I see
shadows in the dark
and call it vision?

5. Before the foamy
water could sting her vulva
a jelly fish passed
through the crotch making her shy--
the sea whispered a new song


6. Swirling spiral
of her skirt spills tides of dream
and memory:
I breathe fire in the dance
forgetting bends and twists


7. Winter is caught in
waves of narrow discussions
under the blanket
my fingers move by nipples erect
without consummation
