You draw at me like currents from somewhere deep in the light. From a place where everything is always true and all the bad you’d ever done or seen or felt or heard, just brushed past your skin.
Like me, a dog’s-lapping at your hand , a silken-supple sibilance like eels as I love you by. Love right past your skin and soul. Will you ever let me love right through it all ? You glisten like distant torches in the deep, beckon my memory to some sunken land . Some kind of Atlantian ruin that could be the closest I’ll ever get to coming home .
If I let you take me into the deep, stay vulnerable for you to keep. Would you? Keep me? -like one hand in the pocket or a pearl or a compass or a dagger of some sort?
Keep me close however you Will. Because there is no braving the brutal chemistry of salt and sere . I’m destined to fall ,into crevices and currents of your open soul , swept away by the viscous filming-over of your light.
