I cruise through saltwater stardust
commune
with the pale, brooding moon,
wallow in its shimmering wake
and wonder at the unknowable depths
of longing
In thick primordial dreams
I plumb stygian leagues
and in dark matter
sunk
among flickering plasma
and icy shards
I find you
Yang to my yin
my mutable twin
we were made to breach
side by side
scales flashing
in crashing briny breakers
spumy with moonlight
and ozone
and wildness
We are not free
in this lifetime
to wholly entwine
and for love of you
I will make no waves
I will slip
into myself
in piscine passivity adrift
abiding
knowing
In liquid stillness
I will thirst
