Weston St James

   Shush shushof wave climb high tidebreaks tree line sun casts asilver stairway to the sky. I’m tied downbound in earth’s glory her lover’s touch:rain on my skin black night whendreams haunt me. Boats bob& reform nose towindward straining on theiranchor chains. Sunset lingers,an hour, a minute, another secondthen: blue orb of earthturns upon itself & we all gospinning onwards.
