Feb 24

The rain fell on the city.
Your eyes illuminated
In electric flashes splashed
Across evening darkness
As the rain steadily tapped
Against the window, water
Shapes and shadows morphed
By an endless lightning,
Your flower in lime lit moments,
As your smile and body
Glistened in the darkness, together we
Whispered before the thunder,
Your Thunderbird body comes out into the open. 

This night you said you loved me.
Flood and debris gathered sticks were
Rolled in pooling water, even placid
Surfaces slightly were turned from a
Gathering underneath, an
Undertow pulling towards the sea, we
Lovers who lose themselves
In the deep.

We seek the earth and sky
As two rakes for whom
Being lost in hearts pleasures 
Were once a distant life, and now twice
Lost in storm debris we find
Strange waters between our skin,
Illuminated to our three eyes by electric
Flash, to ears by roar and laugh, 
For our fingers that press and give, 
A tongue with a tongue and a salt taste, to our hearts
A single vibration of our creation
And embrace.

Your Thunderbird body cried reflections
In your lightning eyes.
Strange waters between our skin, two rakes for the earth and sky.
