You confess your love like dropping a stone into the ocean. She swallows it whole and greedy rolls it about her mouth, the open waves frill and spray in shudders bashful, because she needs to taste all she can before it dips below the surface. and it dives, fish or coral on its straight path? it doesn't give a **** like you like me, a barking a seagull over our rowboat in after that stone desperate after that stone its slipping between my fingers, through my hair always just beyond, just beyond
over my shoulder the moon is a blurred marble against the dull night of sea
and the farther I chase you, the further I am from you , the quicker I remember I cannot swim.
