that dream

 

I don't have a place to call home

I don't have a woman to call love

I thought I had all that

For a day or two I had all that

There are days when I can remember

That dream in which I had all that.

"Is there a temple on this #skerry?"

"This is not a skerry. We call it thuruthu. There's a temple for lovers---the Place of No Return."

"Lovers?"

"Only couples are allowed. If they are truly lovers, they won't return."

"What happens to them?"

"What happened to us?"

They let their fingers search, grasping, teasing, caressing each #hollow and vein, following the creases, the mounts and the valleys, racing, slowing, their breaths cooling and blowing winds that ruffle all those layers which years have deposited;

1/4

close but a little away but closer than ever; no weeping willows, just tresses uncared but natural above, laying shadows; tears as dew or rivulets dampen, soften, the smell of earth ploughed fresh, each muscle straining to produce; 

2/4

landscape urging the farmers, as they pluck, cut, dig deeper, harsh at times, kneading the flesh between fingers, feeling the texture, sensing what it is, what it should be; weeds ripped, searching up, below, side and over till the roots of disuse are gripped, mangled,

3/4

strangled, shed aside; little blossoms, tiny hair standing, trying, asking forgiveness, granted, growing; fingers feeling, nerves awakened, kisses, little bites, pinches, sucking tenderly; the morning over marshes of yesterday, the pasture of today, life, life, life...

4/4
