the radio 
overrides her whimpers. . . 
the manic's
sperm smeared
on her thighs


summer's end
your body travels
through my mind 
a hurricane 
on an indiscreet corner


the end of questions—
love incomplete 
you kiss my back, 
excite yourself 
with my body


some nights 
we made love, slept
arm to arm. . . 
brittle eucalypt
unwrapped by the mist


the secret room 
where you laid on my hammock. . . 
what if I cannot talk 
of the sound of your voice,
the days you still arouse me


the two of us 
walking by the sea. . . 
naked at sunrise
we crawl into each other's skin,
wait for the moon to wane


a fish out of water
this body of mine 
hot in the moonlight 
subject to your pull
like tides beneath the moon


humidity
trickles from chest 
to belly button. . . 
the memory of his abdomen 
as I moisten my lips


my scent missing 
from her body, 
shed with her clothes. . . 
crushed cotton scattered
from the floor to the bed


listen to me,
seagulls that cry 
like a great sad wheel—
the day my lover died 
I rode a horse for hours


your body 
moonbathing on my bed
in its dream state
I stop to surround your breath
and hear other songs


the cresent moon
is her reflection,
tilted back 
waning wide open. . . 
I step inside her kiss


I relish you
as the meeting of wind
and spinning vane
as a child worships the newness
of the world


if rain 
knew loneliness and fear 
could it still be rain. . . 
am I just another man drifting 
to the edge of your life


ships at the port 
of my imagination. . .
handsome
as the heroes of Olympus
who knows where they go?
