a school of fish in bright water
swam through the hole in your eye
as plankton etched their histories
in sediments becoming stone.
like whales suspended in the ocean
we slept while eons passed.
your reverie dripped from my lips
and stalactites grew in my mouth.
skeletal crabs fed on our flesh
as the moon tugged at our sleep.
surf bubbled up in our throats and
my nipples throbbed at your touch.
a red sun rose over evergreen earth
in a triumph of geology over time.
as morning crystallized in our sight
I licked the sea foam off your chest
while binary quantums of existence
sparkled in half-lives of wonder –
a sheet music upon which is written
an elemental and unending score:
this is a daybreak to remember,
this is what was long before.

Desejoover 11 years agoThis is one I wish I had written myself. Loved it from the first lines - the phrases a school of fish in bright water (one normally expects bright fish, not water) and 'swam through a hole in your eye' ( one normally thinks of an eye in a socket, this turns it around) set the tone and you continued it throughout the poem. The rhyme in the three final lines ties it all together. Brava!
