To a woman stood too close

Your possible mouth—

rinnumerable smile 

rthe motion of your tongue

rwhen you laugh leaves me weak.

Your possible lips—

rswollen with desire

rnectar and blood

rhaunt my dreams.

           *

Today I live on an island of my own

rgathering shellfish like apples

rfor the dinner I would cook you

rbut eat alone.

           *

 .

A perfect sunset

rover ko phi-phi

rearly evening stars

r —one falls —

ra possible kiss!
