i like how your eyes close.
voluminous quandary of
a naked rose.
the agony of the brine
beating through the night.
i like how your eyes swallow back
to smallness
and then open
like a gossamer flower in bloom.
i like how your eyes flicker
their transluminal joy - i like what they do to me - so quite a new and tender thing. under the ocean-liner of your skin and the waiting islets of your shoulders, there i am drunk underneath the twilight of your wide eyes, outwrestling pains, and then closing, outlasting the nightfall.
