What I remember of our Love
The waters
are completely still
the gnats and helicopter flies, dance
undisturbed
on the surface of this
our once violent sea.
I remember
how the undertoe flung us against the rocks of shore
It rained so hard
we could not find each other... when parted
Now, it is all... So sky blue, clear
Nothing moves
I wonder
remembering... the absoluteness of love
if this is not the eye of the hurricane
but I am afraid... it is not.
My vision has faded
my hearing once more impaired
my body grows full and round
the bones of angst covered over.
My heart beats in steady if tired time
and my footfalls and judgements have no heros.
All extra sensory perceptions have vanished.
I am what I did not believe I could become
A Woman
floating on an utterly silent sea.
