Deep blue sea
Do you have
a strong mind?
I think I do,
I said, for
when I cast,
I cast far, but I
reel it back in.
Some, though,
once the hook sets,
give line
and the fish goes
and far
and they all go live
in the deep blue sea.
For Annegien
And for Phil Phillips
Somewhere by the sea
Before the question
and after the answer
two make love
in salt-sea air
I have swum in worlds and seen no people
But hints of fish did keep me there.
I felt their passing left and right,
‘lusive loves in starfish night.
Clouds on the ground
Saltless
Sealess
Carrying nothing I might need
A chance meeting in the Octopus’ garden
That Jules Verne would be there
came as no surprise,
but Jacques Cousteau?!
The sushi was lovely,
but the gin was watery
and hard to see.
Sea swimming
in the sand
searching
for the one pebble
it couldn’t let go
