The Dividing Line
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008I would like very much to go
snorkeling with you –
Our pale, East Coast bodies floating like foam
in a cobalt salty sea
Where, fluttering alongside schools of flatfish,
darling you and I would speak
A new language
of air bubbles and gestures, pirouettes and
pipe-delayed gasps
as electric eels writhe below.
