(written 12-05)

He is as sublime

as the cavalier sea

He is an enigma to me

I want to be a mermaid

probing the depths of his being

And he can carry me away

in his arms

(the waves).

I collect scattered shells

embedded in the sand

like fragments of

my shipwrecked heart,

The heart he banished

and abandoned.

Again he tries

to hide from me

but I’m not that easily deceived

because he is everywhere

and always.
