Venus and Adonis

I'll be the sea, fatuous and chaotic You be the sky, melting into marigolds above me Tasting colours, orchards of hues Close my eyes and lift up my libation All my arid poems of sybaritic self pity Sand on my lips, wind sweeping my hair, seashells in my ears Salty spray on my eyelashes You're my sweet clemency, verdure and elusive I want all of you, your ochre and your chartresue and your auburn melting into each other I want your contradictions and contraindications and complications and dreary storms Your bleak Tuesdays, your burnt clouds, your blurry edges Your unknowable horizons And your azure, pastel and electric, harsh and soft, misty and empty Do I need to spell it out, darling I want to kiss you, isn't it obvious

I wrote this watching the sunrise on the beach.

Storytime: yesterday i had a movie moment

I sat on the pier with wind sweeping me and read Jane Austen staring at the horizon. Then i tried to go for a meditative walk on the beach, but i couldn't stop thinking about all the crabs that could at any moment pinch my toes and i ended up going back home.

I guess the lesson is - dont over exert yourself and your movie moments. Also, watch out for those crustaceous little fuckers.
