This is a moment again
that must count for dignity
and delight, here now as wind sculpts wave,
sky and its clouds slink along mountain,
sand favors skin with reminders
of pleasure and ache, body-mind
singing and howling secretly
-life this perilous and sumptuous,
it can barely be spoken of-
as summered light sifts from earth
and heaven fleeting colors,
shifts the veil of infinity,
imbues you, you and you,
yes (drinking wild sea)
most fortunate you
Ah. Sitting on the sand and your skin reminders line. When I first met Jackie again ten years ago we sat on the grass at Kensington Gardens. Waiting for a hip replacement, my getting to my feet again wasn’t particularly attractive
Thanks, Derrick. Things move a bit slower for us, as well–but we each have our original hips thus far!
