Bivalve Dreaming


Well here we go with another verse misadventure.

BIVALVE DREAMING *

I am a mollusc

Alive, alive oh

You press your pink
Shell-like to my lips
And I murmur
The ocean’s secret address.

Tears roll like endless surf
Sobbing
Echoing
- Thunder in our empty pockets

I am a bivalve
You are a butterfly
We dance along
the moon’s landing strip
Shimmering in the salty shallows.

Alive, alive oh.

* I am not the walrus!
