SONNET
When I was the earth and you were the sun
I watched as around my bobbin you spun
Your threads of light and at night I lay
In your arms watching a watchful sky
Cradled by care and swaddled by play
Dandled by a meadow of poppies and rye.
When you were the wind and I was the sail
We raced over waves and across the Sound
The reel of bow and breakers in a hail
Of thoughts that will not stand down
Swelled between the pull of the keel
And the breath in my belly at the wheel.
But now it is water who is my bride
And it is with water that I shall ride.
Beautiful!
