I cannot leave this room unless you spell me
Outside
these windows
Outside the circle
Of this ceaseless sleepless vigil
Rain has been falling now
For either hours or days…
Sounds of an ocean that the rain embraces
Between each house each person each apartment
2
On this island
You appear each morning
Untouched by wet gray moods and shadows
You are the only one who ever visits
3
Sometimes
I
Forget
Enabling winds of commerce
Dream
Romances
Imagine
Intimate
Design
Yet
Unembellished
Straight
It is a wonder
That you
Not some anonymous other
Are born to us
Each sunrise
From the sleepless ocean.
