"...to carry away memories brought for the forgetting
on one thousand one auspicious origami birds
whispering over chilled salmon, ripe fruit
suggesting the fertility of the afternoon."
from the poem, "One thousand one wedding cranes" 1998
Swimming today
​
i am intoxicated
submerged
intimately,
no part holds back
from Your sensual
caress
soft as a
baby dolphin’s belly,
i release fully
into Your amorous waves,
rocking
swaying
in their wake
with the rhythm of
my ecstatic
surrender
