A long-legged echo of melancholy
The shadow of a tern
Flashes black over the sea,
The cross-shaped silhouette
Is visible only for a second
Before it disappears
Into the sunlit horizon
Leaving a long-legged echo
Of melancholy behind.
To remind you of Summer
I taught the wind to laugh,
To walk quietly passed your door,
Scattering green leaves to remind you
Of summer.
I wrote my name in the dew on your window,
Waiting for your heart to remember
The language of the wind
And the muscles in your wings.
Summer at sea
Guardian Angel
Instead of hair, he grew silence,
Thoughts unbound by skin.
He was a drowning summer in a sea of light,
His heavy unmarked steps still rippling
Against the sharp cliffs around
Her heart.
It’s comin’ on Summer
Homesick Tears
I set out to re-conquer the remote islets
of my childhood
With no other guide than homesick tears.
It was like poaching happy memories
From a seagull’s empty nest
With wings obediently
Following the soft pull of the salty sea.
