POEM: 17 APRIL 2010

Islands

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!
