i will wade out
                        till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                       Alive
                                                 with closed eyes
to dash against darkness
                                       in the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls
                                            Will i complete the mystery
                                            of my flesh
I will rise
               After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
             And set my teeth in the silver of the moon

I am a sailor,
I have traveled far and wide,
Each wave and tide have brought me directly to you,
Your song is enticing,
With each note I find my ship closer and closer to crashing upon your rocks,
It's a scary thought,
But your mesmerizing voice draws me nearer to what may be my final shore,
I brace for impact,
I hold tight,
I know that when my ship crashes upon your shore,
I am staying for more than just a night.
