The gentle little shark kisses me,
\nA\u00a0first meeting, yet also a return.
\nWill I remember that jelly sea?
\nAt least this moment immersion outweight memory.<\/p>\n
I lie upon the ocean floor,
\nturning the heavy manuscript.
\nBorn of me, yet to the world it belongs,
\nresting beside me where silence prolongs.<\/p>\n
The sun leaves too hastily,
\nrising for another sea,
\nNever considering\u00a0my longing\u2014
\na drop of time slides to the palm\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n
Beneath a sky where wild daisies bloom,
\nviolet clouds spread open,
\nrose-powder falls upon the sea\u00a0face\u2014
\nthe wine\u2019s source has lost it place.<\/p>\n
Someone dives in the dusk-lit waves,
\nmy years rise and sink in the wine,
\nRecalling the first stage-fright decades ago,
\npaving the way for life\u2019s glow.<\/p>\n
Through the twilight haze the swing sways slowly\u2014
\nI pretend I am still young.
\nA group of children flashes by, laughing,
\ntangling time, pulling at the night.<\/p>\n
The Milky Way holds no evening star,
\nyet feels more complete than possession itself.
\nNight\u2019s fine dust falls on my shirt
\nas I breathe in rhythm with the tide.<\/p>\n
The tide retreats, taking\u00a0me to distant clouds,
\nThe tide returns, bringing me back\u00a0after memories has gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
