ink a hinge here
‘n here
‘n mother
make me limber
• • •
grappling iron your legs
moor me in full tide
whet against protean shoulders
breath is fuel open your mouth
seep into luminous prowl of sea
night is shell eloquent
transient lid
• • •
on a ship. awake at night
cool wind bends your trim hazel hair
I open the hatch. pink moon pulls. a colossal bobbin
boat men and sea birds dream the same dream
dorsel fin splashes. baleen hinge creaks beneath
it’s late. creatures and people forget each other
I’d like to amuse you. clever with anchors and cables
time passes swiftly when you eat sleep fuck
whenever you want. I use my sorrow
a scene like this? it can’t last long
after Su Tung-Po

easy in sleep
you nuzzle me
betraying your
tortured belly
the skin begins
