Sex (The Sea)

Shattered.

Insanity,
it ensues
and attempts to claim you
for itself.

Isaity,
it devours you,
it CONTAINS you.

Young lovers
with their skin searching
and thighs,
young thighs,
magnetized.

There once was a steep beauty
that I climbed
with my
apple heart
and my
cold and bony fingers.

I reached the peak,
that place,
I pressed my bosom
against the jagged beauty
of a perfect winter's night
and I pressed what beauty I've been able to gather
in these places
against every jagged thing
in the world
there:
I sharpened my soul
on the lips of
Her.

I bled like the sun,
I managed to bring words
to something resembling fruition.

But

Young lovers
are all tied up in knots,
young lovers all tied up in knots;
Bled,
in life's divinity.

A remnant of gold
groans
and then, finally,
sleeps.
