Something
Something
Something's coming, you can smell it in the city air,
a trace of salt-sting, wave-licked
from where Neptune's head breaks above the
waves through slopes, foothills, mountains of white
water, swirling braids of kelp, as green Sea horses stamp
the laughing waves. Then calm.
Ocean, kissed by sunlight, smiles
a billion-acre peace across her blue-green world,
below which whales glide, dolphins dance,
and mermaids, combing their silver hair,
sit on iron-coopered trunks
filled with gold and jewels perhaps,
sand-choked, rusting, like human wishes
long unanswered long forgot.
Then something, something flies up, upward
through the endless sea, rising to where
you move like sunlight through the world
weaving fugues of love around my heart.
