Evoking Images

It was not easy to recall, 
the love in truancy. Needs 
extra gene. I would wake up in blue 
darkness for an aubade.
          The salt glitters when I 
           shut the mind.

In random wreckage, 
the first glow before dawn, 
sets you on fire. A star gazing 
begins, buried in the flesh, only 
           the eyes protruding, incapable 
           to locate the moon.

A blank paper floats. You 
were surfing on words. Not 
yet to meet the inevitable. Not 
the kiss of hurt. I am coming 
           to unfurl the opus, the 
           noble commitment of navel crossing.
