infinite
you were
made of
sea sand
your
surface
of salt and
tenderness
your
eyes:
black holes
and mine
wholly
stunned
watching
the
color of
the dam
bathing
the
black
fencing
I felt
a seeking fish
swimming
in the
middle of
my body:
a shark
crosses
the leg
stones
and cycles
while
blocking
the gills
it is
a fish
caressing
drowning
and
drawing
out
sludge
upon
the rigid
texture
draining
milk
on the
riverbed
you were
star made
your mouth
milky way
reflected
by
satellites
and
dressed
in
nude
I discovered
the skin
of the universe
