for josh (whom i cannot have)
and on the shoreline of my dreams
i will find you standing there---
naked, against the storming sky,
the waves crashing over your body,
and your hair
falling in wet curls
across your cheek.
you will bathe with me
in the ocean;
dance with me in the wind,
make love to me in the raging storm.
and i will love you there.
when on the shoreline of my dreams
i find you standing there,
i will run to you
in dream-like softness.
and i will love you there.
(would that i were the one
who holds your heart)
