Poem for Saturday, July 25, 2009


It has been awhile; I'm sorry.

Our Hidden Island

In my head, I have
created something
beautiful

you, God, and I
are waiting
there

somewhere
exotic, my subconscious
takes me to

our hidden island
in the
Caribbean

refracted from
man's vision as he
sails by

God
just wants to
protect us

you, creeping
behind the palms
unnoticed

stealthy, like
acquiring
language

I am sea-
frolicking, algae
tangling my feet

wondering
about the spice-
trading business

God is
fixing up an old
wooden vessel

that will never
touch the
glimmering brine

God is
watching us like
he did the first two

I am Adam,
you are Eve,
born from my

imagination
