IX



The moon
has brushed her hair
along her face

And glows
like the last
half a pearl

And here at the end of the earth I will see you no more
and the swell and the bend of the water
and the way you press like steel
and the way you linger between the waters
heaven and earth, sea and sky
pulling and pulling

Oh the strain oh the strain it is killing us
Look at us, scarred and hiding
