The Fisherman's Song

I found you like a tide pool brimming
Entangled in the seaweed,
Swimming through the sweat over my skin.
But you were something softer,
A fish in my hands over water that beckoned you in.

I kept you because it was easier,
Much easier to lie,
My reflection so much clearer in your eyes
When you were crying.

I wanted for us to drown in it-
Twine the net around your bedposts and forget.
To keep you bare and sleeping,
To own you and your sea-things.
To wake with your salt all over me

Still
Drowning in you drowning
When I should have set you free.

The House in the Garden of Eden

In the Beginning,
when God came to visit,
Eve set out tea
and tiny, crustless sandwiches.
Adam sat, comfortably nude, in his BarcaLounger chair.
God smoked cigars and
Listened.

Later, 
(after that business with the snake)
Conversation crawled
and fig leaves got in the way of everything.
Eve cleared her throat and fanned at the cigar smoke,
Adam shifted from foot to foot,
and God muttered under his breath.

The Dissolution of Us

Then the door
swung open.
And everything shifted-
So we were not still,
not sticky with boredom
and little white lies
Anymore.

Our silhouettes were blank
no longer.
We were made up of noise.
We were built out of shame,
and broken china plates,
and little whites lies
Most of all.

Instead of focusing
discontent,
or rendering us clear
when it swung open-
the door shut us closed and
Full to the brim
of each other.

So, after the shouting
and the salt
The laughter was dimmer,
Harder to reckon-
against the sounding crash,
the sharp and shattered glass of
All the small
White lies.
