Dip Into Life

You were spying on me
like the moon

when it's new

when it's excited

to be drunk and full

Your lips are satin wine
a fleshy paradox of love and lust

like mirth that calls itself your heart

and the oval world that is your soul

We are not the avarice seekers

not stunt coordinators

but we sail into eclipses

our sails better than polythene bright

like a seashell learning to sing

Life is always an equation

you'll never solve

always a tongue

whose language is thus revealed in letters

here and there

but we ate from some similar cup

grabbed and were nailed onto

weaved-sprung in the identity-mirrors

I guess I like you
You may not know

you are a glorious moon

your breath are the stars
