all heart
a gift
from out of the
sea of faces
a whole ocean full of
possibilities
a remnant of
the great barrier reef
a symbol secreted
from tender life beneath
hewn in love by
time and salt and sand
and laid upon our shore
from possibility to pocket
from pocket to passion
our flesh the
occaision of your
piercing
oh sacred heart
hanging now
like a crucifix
of sorts
our little miracle
of chance
this herculean effort
of basic instincts
synthesis of meaning
for survival of species
our free choice and our
con-fession
that first love
now moves across
the face of the deep
washes like waves
our sunburned feet
nothing else remains
between you and me
head, hips and heart
these three
equal and undivided
and free
