Because i love you last night (CP 369)

LXbecause i love you)last night

clothed in sealaceappeared to meyour mind driftingwith chuckling rubbishof pearl weed coral and stones;

lifted,and(before myeyes sinking)inward,fled;softlyyour face smile breasts gargledby death:drowned only

again carefully through deepness to risethese your wriststhighs feet hands

poisingto again utterly disappear;rushing gently swiftly creepingthrough my dreams lastnight,all of yourbody with its spirit floated(clothed only in

the tide’s acute weaving murmur
