Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

History of You - Yalto

rock the boat -
don’t mind the shark.
great white,
under the moon.
deep, dark mystery;
history
of you.
fishing chum -
right pale.
lover’s flesh,
intertwined.
your eyelids kissing,
missing - nervous twinges,
                               light ~
shallow boat of dusk.
