Bare

Bare

what of the words

unheard

that in a glance

you say

marry me today

and we will live

“beyond the border”

and push our boat

away from shore

and drift to the rim

of rain no more

the lightning line

where the “ring of fire”

slips the sky

for a burnt kiss

beneath the veil

and in its wake

the sea blinks

back the tears

and a wave

of diamonds

sail the wind

and scatter

like stars

where no moon

has been

TL
