Walk On Water
for C.D.

i.
I’m here now
near her now

I’m happy now

no address on this earth
in this universe
apart from her

away from her
I’m lost, adrift

I’ve drifted into the harbor
of her arms,
her thighs,
I’m home

ii.
I want to kiss you
somewhere
everywhere

kisses all over you
to locate myself

I want to locate myself in you

does the earth
upon its axis
spinning away
know where it is

in love
lost upon the spinning earth

with you alone
to guide me like a star

otherwise I am a petal
winding down
