every single shore
you know me underneath the
elbow limbs of winter rain,
the loose leaf sheets of dreams,
pull my hands in and across
your chest as if to welcome me
back into the sleep divide
and i am waking to the sound
of late season sleet all along
your rented window.
i, too often, feel like turning
myself into you, twining my
circulation into your hands
to keep us warm and cyclical,
to deny you any sense of
escape. so,
i would like to take you home
with me and stand you
at the great sweep of coastal
vales; i have never seen
your silhouette against a
black-beached sea, i have
never deciphered your ear
whispers against the rough
waves of conch shell cries.
i cannot, yet, know your
skin bleached thin with salt
and i do not know you
in the snake-shed of summer.
just as,
northwest winter air and
crow calls at dawn, I
know you as you know
me - very much alone,
standing forged, displaced in
a different continent than
i have never known. and,
i let you hold me for a
second longer, lay my
hands in natural
lines along the standout
veins in your neck and
pretend - in sensory shivers
-that i am made
of you, and you, of course
of i. we are made of
the shredded lava rock on
flat smoke and beaches, of
melancholy squalls,
of the wild aspen in your air
and of,
the thrill beats of robins
flushed.
and you wind yourself
around me in vine
ringlets as if to say:
"i would like to know you
on
every
single
shore."
