A distinct memory

i found two stones of onyx

they did differ in their size

i found them above soft red rock cliffs

surrounded by circles like shattered stars

of fire so blue in some places

it shakes and laces white

writhing, like water struck by light-

ning - flecks of sea-

shot upward by electric energy

 

i can see without a mirror

into the eyes of the storm

like a whirlpool that wrecks ships

whitewater that rarely quits

unexpected instant shifts when at about six inches away

sideways to sit beside you

forward sometimes (in my minds eye mind you)

i sit where i sit

but envision lip skip space to lips

to sip redlipped kisses, miss,

momentarily slip over simple clever quip

let out in sunshine after a snare drum stutter or two

I...I..I have a girlfriend, but who are you?
