honey words
thick and rich and sweet
still
silent
and whilst bold
without hope's soft push
gentled by beauty
and golden-thick and wide,
sunset's glance and
my timid eye
'mid burnt bronze
eucalypt slow,
heavy-lidded
and head low
steeped in gin
and with that seaward sight
i find this tide
pulling
and dragging
my faltering feet
back to the sea
my deep, rich, and ragged love.
i fall,
face to the salt wind
and drown.
