She melted into him on the calm black water
With her lovely outstretched arms
Pierced with light
Voice reaching out
To the heart of his ears
Mad with love of mad seas
Murmuring her ballad of a green and bronze dream
On the water
Melting away
While pulling faces
Out of the evening shadows
Faces to dream with
For a thousand years
Bathing the bare being of his goddess
She melted into him on the calm black water
Under the light that wept on her shoulders
Her pale vertebrae
Unfathomable space
I no longer felt myself
When the black and blue awakenings
Stopped
I hung there
The evening shadows pulling faces
Out of the waves
Dusted with fine gold
The sea has broken to russet
And has murmured its ballad
To the delighted earth
She melted into him on the calm black water
Under the light of the time she rouses
He trembles at the tone of her demands
As I was floating down
Distances from that time
Of being devoured by the green azures and yellow and blue awakenings
As delirious as the skies are
I hung there
As I melted
