The Music of Ice-Bergs

ellipses tremble
trace in waters
a deeper kiss than this
though deeper still
revelling in waves
sunken, slips
heavy under
starry-starry lights

i feel tall
those empty hollow places
that leave me under your skin
all deeper to the sound of standing-still
deep ocher core

So many things here. I found myself wandering from Freud to VanGough and ending up in the Book of Genesis. Such simple words hiding such emotional mysteries; enjoyed the id. Thanks for sharing.
