Me a Shoreline.

November 18, 2011 /

With fingernails dipped in sky blue

And a glass of red wine

I am a woman

With sequins draped across

My shoulders open

Wings at my back

Blades spreading across the sky

We shine from all angels you and I

(with shards of light dripping from the sky)

Everything touched by

Chandelier bright

And I breathe slower

And drink everything in tasting all the flavours

Of colour sound and skin

One by one my heart collects

The evidence of happening

Holding it to her closely

Deeper than shape where only

The tender palm of feeling can press

(each touch is sacredly kept)

She goes through the monthly process

Waxing and waning

Losing and receiving

Collecting

And collecting

Made woman by these things

(falling on my pores my body grabs back)

I move slower

(with full embracing movements)

Letting the world

Wash over me

Me a shoreline

Life the infinite sea
