Aphrodite's Children
A tear drop of land in an eternal sea waits
for just the right footfalls to hideaway, to rest.
Let the sky brown their skin, let the ocean narrate
in the thunderclap of storms, let their love coalesce.
Oh yes, they survived and marooned here they await
solitude was their wish and Poseidon's bequest.
Rolled in the sea's fecund foam, and tossed on the tide
the children of Aphrodite in moonlight abide.
