new poem
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010 | subtle juxtapositions
*lucky me*
watching you in the surf at el matador,
black bikini, skin glistening w/ salt water,
lei of sea weed round your neck,
smile wide as the sky,
all of the magic of the sea in your eyes,
it occurred to me that if this happened to be
the last thing i ever saw, i didn’t care
if i ever saw anything again,
& i looked straight up into the sun over the cliffs,
but it had ducked behind a cloud,
& would not burn out my eyes for me, & i had
no means w/ which to bribe it, so i turned
back & watched you some more
