Nature's Love
A marble stair pressing up
The feet which press down
Featherless beauty, a glimmer in the moon
Water ripples around your name
Your identity hides carefully within
This seashell a dog brought me.
Listening so carefully I can hear it:
Footsteps from heaven to earth
Releasing inertia with a sound
Like the ocean fragmenting so softly
Right at the surface where the snakes
Coil around you and embrace you
Reverently (in the eyes of God),
Hissing and snapping as blood
Comes to a boil -
Ah, it's tea time!
