a grain silo above the river
I remember
I've forgotten
the corner of your eye—
kohl
applied by knife.
the crow’s eye—
image
in a game of marbles.
kites above an old muslim
city—
I think of you constantly.
Sex
a wasp nestles
in an orchid;
the sun—a river.
shadows
in the pond -
a ghost's ghost.
Goa
the ocean thinks—
shifting
constellations.
Disappointment: honey poured over a knife.
carrying the moon away—
night-owls.
rain tapping on the roof,
a wolf—
Pulling back your
black black hair, teeth
clenched, kissed:
a thousand jasmines
a thousand violets
Diana.
a black stream has drowned me:
her hair,
her voice.
