Shimmering fingers knitting quickly in the window
Observed in reverse
A reflection ahead
I find myself on the edge yet again
One more day of me
We three strangers in the jet-black sea
Three times underneath
Fuzzy and barefoot on the pavement
The blisters sting this morning
A March to the New Moon
A salute to Moana
And to me,
Too
One more day of me
Reminders often so I may not forget
The woman dancing at dawn
A glimpse into her uninhibited world
How I envied her
How she summoned the sun
Leaving in a hungover daze
Shedding layers of old:
Excess eyebrows surely in some faraway disposal by now,
Nails rinsed down the drain,
Desire drips from the seashell once wrapped around my right pointer finger,
we parted with respectful reluctance,
And a sliver of self on Her shores.
Energy spent and attention paid
Spendthrift
Leaving full and asking who knows who
if it’s right
To leave
Even in this hungover daze
