Deep Deeper

Go deep, deeper

As deep as you’ve ever imagined.

The rawness from you bursting forth

a ripe open mangosteen

purple juice staining your lips,

darkening your tongue

Truth lies there.

Lies too, but lies dose

not stay for long.

Truth has the wherewithal

to come out and play

Sometimes it’s so painful

you can’ t go on.

It’s Bach at its finest-

quick, brilliant, uninterrupted

The piano playing like it’s in love

And after a long time

the pain is excellent

At least you think it is

You’re in love and may have lost him

Why am I howling into the wind?

It carries me Over the sea

and dumps me at Dead Man’s Cove.

Under the tamarind trees

where I meet a man in a speedo

And Bathing cap. I am guessing he hardly has any hair

I don’t care

I keep swimming out there.

In the bluest sea, I have ever seen

I look down at the clear water

and see The sand

This is where I find my ring. Unbelievable. My wedding ring.

We thought the monkeys had taken off with the loot and vanished far way.

We celebrate say our vows rooted to the spot. Walk soaking wet,

as husband and wife

to the beach

Sit on the deck chairs

and drink gin and tonics.
