tea leaves

I won't remember you...

the husky sound of your voice

tall, lanky stature

Lithuanian shape of your

Baltic blue eyes sledding

across my heart

 

even this embrace

standing on Melbourne beach

the wind swoons

two silhouettes melting into

each other

 

All the lines on my hands

are erased

the ocean pours tears into

a half moon shell

my body, a blind mermaid

washed ashore

upon the smooth, faceless sand
