Poem 7273
To Ethan whose eyes have spoken so much

love

in that vast white ocean
those blue glittering in the sun
that looked everywhere
(you thought)
saw nothing
save the white-covered plane.



in the bottom
more vast than the surface
lies my desire
lurking in the water.



you closed your eyes
and no more glittering snow
those eyes that looked everywhere
had found silence
under, undisturbed
lain in wait.
