hollowed but hallowed where’s the sense in that
eavesdropping on the conversation between crashing waves and the barnacled face of the coast
luminous frogs leap through the bog devouring any evidence of light
the tantric fire does not burn it simply engulfs and drowns you in ecstasy
along the pale sea icebergs drift like forgotten temples
all is art until shadows and tendrils take over warm limbs
a decree of cosmic proportion tumbles from the lonely night sky
dive through mirrors of salt each crystal births a new image of our frail flesh
beneath the summer moon fish glow with crimson fever
