  • From A Dream

    she is beautiful; mysterious she suffers and mourns, but moves in graceful waves. Dancing her pain back to the earth as she tosses her long limbs and dark hair. Speaking a language I do not understand..he understands; dark and wise; I Watchhim, watching her, with a fiery gaze that could permeate any body of water. I Seeher resist him the way I mold my feet into the sand and strengthen my connection to earth resisting the ocean’s current pulling me forward into it;until finally, the force is too much.I am swept beneath. she is swept onto him. Their bodies become one.I Feelthey weave like vines, I am one with them intertwined, We are One.I Wakecheeks wet, heart pounding a beat between loss and love, body shaking; trying to resist, and knowing we are held.
