Bathers (original) (raw)

Callaloo, 2009

Abstract

Bathers In a new and unpolluted sea Fresh from vision You and I You and I New New Emerging Clinking like metal Shiny on the sand As wave-washed copper pennies Anchored by beach lizards Weighted in shrouds of Smooth rose pebbles Attached to Slow-rolling flying kites Separated by a Gritty breeze That winds down The space Between us As irrefutable as The Great Chinese Wall. . . Evaporating sea tears On you Sea tears that dry Leaving small white Circles of brine Not like my tears That remain Forever Undried
