Blue Moon

76) Wasted Reverie

my gem on the seabed. I forgot:

dropped the pinhead on the seahead

shattered the water skies,

let it fall in shards to the seabed

let them pierce my head.

watch the waterbaby immerge:

drown on the air, lungs soaking up dust

and choke choke choke, my my,

my gem on the seabed;

I place it, on your forehead

steal it back with a kiss in your sleep

and waste how many hours I might keep

it, you steal it back in a wave and a tide

drown me out by your side,

with the droplets and the white horses

beating my eardrums into oblivion;

lest you might drip it on the seabed

again, and wash me in your wavesong again.
