Bouncy ball lovers
Exploding in colors as they
Lean down over the pier

Move like the tide
On an October night
And they laugh

Till they run out of air
The moon sets
Beneath the ocean line

Watch it go down down
As their emotions
Start to rise

Far away sound
Of the waves
Unchosen their strides


Slowly they open,
Like arms

That were folded
Like eyes
That woke up in the sun

Cautious to feel,
And anxious to heal
This loneliness

That had begun
She fell in the bed
In his arms

They tumbled around
Their heads lost
Beneath eachothers hearts

The walls were surrounded
In unfinished art


They fit together
Like love on a letter
Like tulips

On a table for two
And on that same day
As she left for Santa Fe

He said,
"I'm rather crazy for you"
And he brushed down

His hair to one side
And he went through the rounds
Of his knuckles popping

From the left to the right
He took out his canvas
And painted blue-green lines


Oo oo oo
