A light year’s gulp severed us
Though our fathomless dream mar-
ried
We swam in the unilateral sea of
aloneness
Because the gulp severed us.
My tears caked into the islands
of longing, seeking your ismuth
and the oars of my resolve trode
the watery bridge.
But irate waves warned
me of drowning
some restive tide washed
the showery culvert of my tears
and a gulp severed us
of psychological tradoethnic
and material tatoos.
Your own cardiac dam once
warmed the gulp
on bursting
now the harmattan of regulations
ruled the crest but longong
would create coastal masses
and sandy branches of tougher re-
solve
soon the gulp would dry
and in the silver-sanded beaches of
love, and
in hand we shall frolic
into earth’s eden.
