though just briefly and in passing
whenever I see the word Aegean
I stop and want
nothing more than
to go back to Santorini
I want to peel into
dove tailed smiles
my inner incubus
sharing space succulent
maids with the sea
wading evening tide spills
beneath the warm black sand
at Perissa ...
and when perusing
this fantasy
the resins bleed
in knobby pine
clay armatures
for pots that look
like broken skin to be
for wine and
what you want
most to see
in me ...
the realms stay the course
I wait until morning
comes, watch the Swedes
do their yoga by the caves
I then go
to George's Taverna
and eat eggs
while sipping ouzo
soda and lime ...
remembering
last night
one more time
before this
August day too
does climb hot
trailed to where
I always
like to fall
back into you ...

You have some very lovely lines in this piece.
ReplyDeleteI want to peel into
dove tailed smiles
such beauty in doves as they represent love and the smiles of what was or could be.
I always
like to fall
back into you ...
This line speaks to me. There are those memories that we cherish and always want to fall back into..can bring joy or sadness.
The title, the closing, and this
