"Two Cypresses in Love
with the Sea?"

They are leaning, leaning 
outstretched in glimmered love
to a heaving, wind-whipped sea
itself foam-edged in longing
though not for their love, 
the kind that lasts forever.

The trees, acutely angled, drunk
in their unknowingness, thrill
to pleas from a waving ocean
lashing the foot of the cliff
the trees for now are rooted on.

Let go, let go, the sea whispers. 
Float to lands you’ve never heard of. 
No fires, no thirst, no barren
branches sacrificed to gulls and ravens.
With me, groans the sea, it will be

temptingly exceptional. 
I’ll take you, I promise, 
to places undreamed,
islands known only to wind-spirits 
a paradise of white beaches 

dead stones, and there I’ll leave 
you, my cypresses,
among my countless conquests
above the highest tide line 
your limbs torn with desire 
bodies twisted and waterlogged 
deliciously sodden with love.
