Note

you wanted all
or nothing

and chose nothingness,

the shoreless void,
white streak of haze
between sky and ocean


i asked too much of
what moves between continents

and gained a slice of moonlight

lingering on a water lily
that slowly drifts into the dusk


you are the river
flowing inside me

stream without estuary

yet filling the blue-silver sea
with salt of sunsets.
