"Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves." - James Joyce, Ulysses


summer.

 


you have your arms

around the sun,

your heart

swimming in the

beautyblue ocean.

 


languidly we live, 

lonely we love.

 


in your eyes,

i am infinitesimal:

a fallen peach,

a dirty apple.

 


every other day

you speak to me:

wan words

wading in living waters.

 


there’s a fractiousness

inside you

but only directed toward me.

 


and.

and.

and

 


maybe if i get you in the beautyblue waters,

swimming on your back,

face to God:

 


a colossal kiss.

 


maybe then you’ll

become my romantic catastrophism

and (maybe) then i’ll let you go.
