POEM: 17 APRIL 2010

no
man is an island
until I die & later on, I will imitate these islands,
my backbone a line of mountains, my limbs rivers,
my head an island on its own,
my nether-regions valleys, my peripheries beaches,
my fingers dolphins, my toes crayfish
this is the pacific the milky way
we are all islands here

Greg–I love this so much. It’s just beautiful and sensual. I like what you wrote, your choice of words/images, and the way you presented it…including the layout. Limbs as rivers and “nether-regions” (love that term) as valleys–really nice!
