as one

i know you

   as waves know sand,

       every glittering, tumbling grain,

              each crashing curve of

            salt and blue,

        drawn again

and again

    into the other

         in an ancient

               eternal and

           intimate

     dance.

spider

silent venom
slowly seeping
as I sleep

scalding fingers
of poison flame
stretch and grasp
beneath my skin


in this dream
I call your name
