looking back
at the footprints ashore
only a pair left
yours swept by a rushing tide
mine kept waiting for my bride
as I gather
your gasps sighs in my arms
life pulsates
rupturing its cocoon
celebrating its first flight
white sands
cooling at sunset
i lay my head
gather my last refrain
to ease a yester-pain
plucking
a thornless rosebud
dew falls
tearing the guilt
of the flowervase
mayflower
took away your smell
in my room
bring back the spell
slip into my towel
stars
in the heavens
hidden
during the day:
god's oxymoron
bare feet
cadencing a bird tweet
reaching
the mountain peak
at dawn break
