the drops of the lavender mist
They do not fall, they stay in place
All from the mother sea
On your skin, tears that torment the vale of your etched out land
Deeply, I cannot find you, your immense scale above the mountains, I smell ancient salt
Pale Moon-Milk Eyes, you tormented me
The misty moors that trail the first light of fossil-graves sink into despair through your
Electric surges under deep… black, blue and red waves as
I found the loneliness of the ocean deeply claustrophobic in its familiarity like
The way your voice once called out to me from so far away
Yet I knew all along it was calling out to someone else.
