lyrics

In the pitching water, and around the point
of Skiathos, by the rock spits, though you’ve
caught cold, we row over shallows, awkward,
in deep, the cheating tide, network of fire
on the coarse bed; shells walk in turquoise,
oh and waves scroll to the outlandish shore.
I let her sag back across the cove before
coming about: you talk blue streaks, but why
be anxious? girls swim up to us, naked,
shoulders out of the water, tits just under:
sleep heals, the body is forgiving, our boat
is safe. From Sappho, over that sea—love goes
into the sun’s muscle: our days are graced
by this rollicking light, and it’s still May.
