  • The pier was

    A place to play
    To spend the day
    To hold hands
    To jump off.
    It was a place
    Where life
    Stuck out it penis
    In the mother sea
    Groping in eternity.
    It was a place
    Where life

    Knitted time
    Into Jersey sweaters
    To be worn
    On winter days
    When knees are weak
    And hair is gray.
    The day it burned
    Homeless bums
    Looked for land

    Huddled by cans
    Searching for anything warm
    They had lost
    Their Jersey sweaters
    To be worn
    On winter days
    When knees are weak
    And hair is gray.

  • When we meet
    my heart
    is like a sail
    fluttering in the
    turmoil of weathers
    yet it embraces
    the hurling breeze
    whenever we meet
    and beats
    for this only.

  • The horizon is holding up the sun
    Shining as a floating torch upon the sea.
    The moon is rising in the east
    Pale as a see-through disc
    Above the cliffs.
    Time is now both night and day.
    Black and white exchange to gray
    And the tide moves uncertainly between
    A premature birth
    And a lingering end
    As the moment s p r e a d s into infinity
    Upon the pastel sands.
