Near the surrounding sea I lie in the sand; somewhere else beside the drag of the water waves. I see no kingdom here; no fantasy of mowed grass gardens, small brick fences with oiled gates and tightly trimmed bushes of Rhododendrons. I see no impressions here, to the subjects cosmic eyes, of perfectly ordered existence overflowing like carefully layered, plucked and picked lavender petals pouring over the cliff garden. I see twisting things overhead and the tangling of the light through the air to the forest floor Oh hallowed moon that follows the Earth; your plight is not unknown; I swear by the fire of Hades breath and the pull of the heart to the heart take me, take me now… I am alone in the sand turning to glass.

Contemplating beaches and borders
Near the surrounding sea I lie in the sand; somewhere else beside the drag of the water waves. I see no kingdom here; no fantasy of mowed grass gardens, small brick fences with oiled gates and tightly trimmed bushes of Rhododendrons. I see no impressions here, to the subjects cosmic eyes, of perfectly ordered existence overflowing like carefully layered, plucked and picked lavender petals pouring over the cliff garden. I see twisting things overhead and the tangling of the light through the air to the forest floor Oh hallowed moon that follows the Earth; your plight is not unknown; I swear by the fire of Hades breath and the pull of the heart to the heart take me, take me now… I am alone in the sand turning to glass.
