La Croix Valmer
We took the Marseilles road,
a cambered sun streaked the bay.
Lemon tea while others
search for cheap wine.
We are alone
exploring magnetic boundaries,
hands stalking a checkered tablecloth,
predict ourselves as a nocturn
far from other eyes.
Night, secret unfolding’s,
while we translate
the prayers of our flesh,
the tidal crests of our needs.
Dawn arrives with gulls
and guilt.
I catch the bus to Perpignan,

What has happened to me
They will find

Croix De Guerre

Her loveliness came in spring
time and a rose became my
heart.
Swept across the ocean came,
sickness atop the tide.
A plague that anguish falls
beneath, and causing rage to
die.
I so young did fall for, a
promised spring for ever

Stone of St Croix Island
Carefree in leisure time, one blasé tourist,
almost happy, I once had collected a complicated stone;
after the sunny hours had ended and last opportunity
for keepsakes began.
In my hand the stone had kept all of its mouths sewn shut,
holding its amalgamated story, and likewise in the car,
on the plane, through US Customs where it was not
