Untitled April '10

the island washes off of me
down the drain

into the arid dirt
it soaks the years up

radiating,
a russet hue on my face

bouncing off the moon at night,
while she sinks outside,

the line of the horizon;
yellow, not full

the arch twisted like
my full bowing brow,

straining to see her celestial descend
beneath the aqueous surface

still land is distant,
almost a dream

even though it sits coming
sprawling and open.

I like the first line, it does feel like that when you come in from a sandy beach.
