Click hereI look eastward and you look west
from these shores and through the dark Atlantic
from North American twilight to wisp of Euro-dawn
two continents seem huge, but not enough
to keep Pangea forming once more, just as
water shapes land.
Taste my life through miles of sea
and feel as I, stars upon the skin of night
hear the same moment
of inseparable wind and wave, just as
Aries breathes twins.
Castor and Pollux need fire to passion
so inhale the aroma of these red clay shores
as they steam our wetness toward fate, just as
time accepts space.
Share with me this dark night, and tomorrow is ours
out of black sheath of the sea, of land and of sky, just as
we were yesterday.

amicusabout 17 years agoWe stand alone, you and I, tiny beacons of awareness in an endless night, listening to the sound of the ocean, seeing the light of the stars and knowing far more than we should of continental drift and Pangea...
and know with certainty...that we are alone in the universe..
a little scary, eh?

McKennaalmost 19 years agoI'm in awe of your use of allusion. Using stars of the Dioscuri was incredibly clever, especially when followed by your line "Aries breathes twins." Excellent job. I'll definitely be reading more of your work in the future.
Lauren Hyndealmost 19 years agoI love the structure, the way each stanza becomes tighter and more intimate than the last. It mirrors the content perfectly.
My favourite section is:
"Share with me this dark night, and tomorrow is ours
"out of black sheath of the sea, of land and of sky, just as
"we were yesterday"
