come watch with me
the sky is bent
like the small
of a woman's back
an infinite receptacle
swimming in the waning light
swimming amid resurgence of light
come watch with me
the sea in a storm is mad
rebelling receptacle
back arched in fury
casting cast stone back upon the earth
I boiled revolt among flung brine
and the eyes of stars
I know the sea and the sky have tangled with the ends
of my limbs the same as the small
of a woman's back
back arched in fury
my body cast forth and pulled back
on the earth's tide
of acceptance and revolt
