Restless
sapphire and gold of blush,
the ocean wallows
on sumptuous pillows
no human will sleep.
dreams tossed and uplifted,
amorphous and nude,
long before the gods
named death a one-way door.
petals of froth
trellis the absinthe of this ocean,
how they bristle, only to wane,
and the petals of foam, restless,
pulse in white-green gardens,
wet of heat to arch-and-sink,
swollen and swaying within
this passionate ocean,
this pendulum of ache,
its great greengray gaze every lens
swallowed and shaped,
fluid and multifaceted,
stare up at the embers
of a deep, stark universe,
hoping for a trace of bliss.
