The Dream of Comprehension

In the ocean of the sky

she glyphs

the Southern Cross

Gacrux

falls into eyes

Acrux caresses

open mouths

Hadar

burns skin

sinks in

to guide the way

Destination

Oh falling Star

a thought sent

received

To break upon you

Surging tsunami

consumes

Within the deluge

You are drowned

and I

diminished.

Consummation

Flagrant

the taste is naked

curled upon

smoothing wavelets

Your breath

sends spindrift

leaping pale coral skin

salt spiced

dancing whitecaps

break dishevelled between

and within.

Awareness.

The scent

of sea

thick with gulls cry

Shallow

water

warm

To curl

recede

over dry rock

Leave dead star ash

in fading embers

for memories
