Sealight, A Study at Millbank
Salmon and otter river
while I was waiting for
you
in a lovelock night
of lunar avowal, pomp
and suss,
hoarfrost,
how
it bust out like dandelion
spikes, mauve over oil
I want to
catch its breast on the tip
of a smallsword,
burr
a havana keel, barbules,
stipple it
Sagitta skirts
my northern horizon,
Rigel, Castor, Pollux rising
