Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

The Rock Grows More Beautiful

Cast my net to the sea
Am I the fish or the heron 
The pebble bouncing or the wave
flight is easy for the bird

I crave your fingertips tracing
upon my nakedness

As the heron desires his catch
And the wave is pulled to shore
The sun an aphrodisiac
Teasing broken rituals played

The rock grows more beautiful
My net empties lost burdens
