Poems
Dec 2010
Having invented heaven, I slept
Because inventing heaven
from pebble and mist
was backbreaking,
heartquaking
work
and
because I
shivered with
fever, my body lit
by rapture unfathomed,
I sought stillness in the mouth
of the ocean, gave myself
to her shallows and,
with sleepy eyes,
said
Leave
me here.
You laid hands to my
dreaming curves. They became
dunes, shifting; you filled my sky with birds.
inspired by the legend of K'gari, who became an island.
