Extinct Loves

[orange_fell]

The Loch Ness Monster

Thomas Buchan

Sometimes at night when the wind blows hard
the Loch Ness monster is lonely
for his extinct contemporaries
the warm flying fox and the luscious algae

so too in the long silent hours when the wind blows
(the black water closing over my head)
I am lonely for you my extinct love
pinioned down there in the strata

"I love you" I cry--
but you cannot weep or move your head

and I am terrified I shall not be near you again
until the rocks are broken
and our dead dust is blown out into space.
