The north wearing earth on his hands
the sprouting of tenderness .
The south , her lips pink from new Amsterdam
does not rest her seduction .
Lips pink , a gossamer pregnant
birthing long nights to lovers
entwined with maroons monogram .
The mouth harp intoxicating
singing stirring abduction .
north and south huddled together upon a raft .
lips of yesterday
lips surging phantoms
lips pink like the silver city
travelled far by Abraham .
The north land fermenting
his breath rising above heavens wet locks
falling from her dark purple sky .
Behold the flute of Khrishna
seeding a box of emerald green chocolates
a chariot of kisses , cacao pulp kissing
their lips , their limbs , their bodies swelling mussels .
The north the greatest storyteller
breaching lips , whales of love .
The south , her lips small but touching enormous things .
Behold the raft with waves of oysters and clams
the pretty ones always messy
lips pink , the jukebox dancing
cigarette lighters clicking .
The darkness on the street with a voice
now to bear witness .
Love red , love rising ruby
like a vapor she goes temporarily blind
her mouth open .
For Dan

Meg, the line about the mouth open – what a coincidence! We were having similar strains of thought, it seems. Ah, true friends, genuine spirits, we collide in worlds of poetry ❤ I loved the north and south mixing within your lines in sensual ways, heightened by the photos you put with the lines. Well done!

I love the sensuousness you bring to the natural world with this piece. We forget this too often. I do, anyway. That the sea is in love with the heavens. That Nature’s north and south are making love all day long, filling the sky with color, the shores with life, the boat with beings. That Nature’s polarities are deeply in love, and it is physical, flowing, colorful, wet, and overflowing…
Much love, my friend-
Michael
