Surfacing warm
between my palms
like an unknown
prayer
now incarnated,
here’s your face,
here’s a kiss
it engulfs
rapt whispers
and small words
are swallowed whole unread
and are then left unsaid.
It samples
like an especially strong
and delicate tide
softenesses and teeth and sighs
Until our mouths
taste alike
and our smiles
seem the very same smile
like to like to like to like
and at the center of our eyes
questions rest, now answered
the answer too fine,
too simple to forget—
just your name and mine.
Boundaries adrift
look, your knuckles have ripples
already pressed into them
look, it’s me again
an expanse of sea
swaying in contentment…
here at water’s second side
i may happily drown inside you
Simultaneously pebble and pool
And tide
