sea-deep whispers


at night the sea surges in my room
drapes the walls in dainty foam
before i could see curls next to me
sea-deep whispers in my ear
light waves push against my chest
seep into gaps between my ribs
fill my motionless body

with the ache of a woman
who is a spring blossom
sun-ripe papaya
ammo(r) wired in my veins
 volatile to kill
extraordinary to live
a fleeting dream

until i step outside my fear
elope with darkness next time

  1. how extraordinary, this image:
    sea-deep whispers in my ear
    light waves push against my chest

    and then the dark red, the deep red of the photo, as if the blood itself were moving, wave by wave, raising within your night, within you...
