Esra my glittering comrade
Who knows not her own
Untempered wildness,
Unquenchable affection,
And eagerness to
Make to my brittle soul skip
Across a barely frozen
Shimmering black lake,
I Caspian,
Terrified of falling in,
Yet thrilled to breathlessness
At the pureness of such pursuits.
Will you recall the first moment
We touched, that night,
Fingers arms bodies senses souls,
That connection of
Your warm woozy atoms upon mine
Sent out a thousand reverberations,
And each of those
Triggered a thousand more,
Until we arrived
In a mutual mythical resonance,
Entwined twin sailors on lost oceans,
Together finding our way home,
And dissolving ever inwards
As the electric flicker of night
Is seduced into new morning.
