Water

*********
willingly play each kEy for me—
piano notes whisper
into water
as a misty sea bReEzE
laced w i t h intoxication
afternoon symphony of o.c.e.a.n waves
draws in—enchanting senses
dance among a seashore
upon sugar coated sands
fragrance of sea briny winds—
breathing low tide
beach leans ...
in sundown shade
swaying with melody
foLLowed twilight
as ivORy glow
we fell as rain and g a t h e r e d
in cupped hands
t.u.m.b.l.e.d to sea
soft into roots then pulled again up—
through leaves
out through sky ...
returning as mist
as weightless skin against the s.h.o.r.e
r.i.v.e.r in the shape of remembering
like w.a.t.e.r turning back to—water
MOONLIGHT silhouetted stone
rebeLLious rainbow of frozen saudade
as s.c.o.p.e from flares splatter
kenopsia in lack of memory
—plate—river sails—
ripples across the bay ...
