In Sleep, Marrying The Sea

Heard

the birds chime

discordant decorative

as though hung

from trees the wind gasping

through their

open throats


Heard

the sand heavy petted

and virginal

obediently swallowed

by the sea


Heard

my own feet intimate

on grain like corpses

rattling on the trophy

stick of a hunter

slapping

the sand like a slavery

chant a torment

applause


Heard

the sea revolt

and perish

against within

within against

within upon

against

itself

a turgid

masturbation

kneading itself aggressive

to dry

still placid

rock

clawing the seams

of the beach

for support


Heard

the belching

tide greedy

bloated

a gorilla chest-pound

roar

of bloke idiom

powerless to resist

powerless to this

I will have you have you have

you


Heard

the heart faulty

mechanics

stereo to mono

fuse blown quick slick

dramatics

the drum roll

following a poor

joke


Heard

the choke and struggle

the chuckle


Heard

the limp limbs

and swollen brain


Heard

fluid

mesmeric move


Heard

bones cackle

and snap


Heard

cracked porcelain

and pirouettes

Heard momentary


Heard solid


Heard ellipses


Heard sweet chorus


silence


the ocean

licking at lungs

lips tongue toes

tits stomach sphincter

spine me-oh-mine-oh-

yours


frenched

fresh

sucked

off


Spat

me back

onshore

bored


breathless

like all love

songs

say


honey

moon

half


there
