life emanates from the sea
salt channels through our veins
through flats and ravines
achieving animation, and
then returning to stone
i run, in my own time i run
and the things that i've seen, all
that i have seen, runs behind me
alongside and within
gulls and cobblestones
tugboats, the sugar wharf
street urchins, out of dickens
plunder the five and ten
a vicious, feral joy
was it in constantinople
a peruvian marketplace
ten years ago, today?
yesterday is tomorrow too
these alleys, byzantine, complex
greek meanders, mariner
sails, the subterranean tunnels of love
the ancient, maudlin sorrow, joined
like a village dance, communal
arm in arm, steps in time
that graces, and borders the linen
the dowry of virgin and crone
incisions in marble flesh
salt channels through our veins
through flats and ravines
achieving animation, and
then returning to stone
i run, in my own time i run
and the things that i've seen, all
that i have seen, runs behind me
alongside and within
gulls and cobblestones
tugboats, the sugar wharf
street urchins, out of dickens
plunder the five and ten
a vicious, feral joy
was it in constantinople
a peruvian marketplace
ten years ago, today?
yesterday is tomorrow too
these alleys, byzantine, complex
greek meanders, mariner
sails, the subterranean tunnels of love
the ancient, maudlin sorrow, joined
like a village dance, communal
arm in arm, steps in time
that graces, and borders the linen
the dowry of virgin and crone
incisions in marble flesh
