For Goa, December 25th,2000. Reissued for Galle, February 6th, 2011
Swimming out into the pinpricked night,
cleaving at the amorphous blue
with arms of curling smoke.
A spinning shuttle;
fairy-light spirals in my head.
A face in the dark - old; spry.
The dancing embers licking her fingers dry.
Beachfront in an hourglass.
Waves of euphoria pummel
the shores at the edge of time.
Orion sinking into slumber;
whisper goodnight,
and on the rim of the ocean:
crouching, hidden - Daylight.
