RETURN by ALFRED FRANCIS KREYMBORG

First Line: THE BODY OF HER EYES
Last Line: THAT BRINGS YOU THE SEA.
Subject(s): BODIES; EYES; SEA; OCEAN;
The body of her eyes
enfolding mine,
of her hands and mouth
holding mine:
(blessed the ancient
assurance of water,
of rain to the clay
and holy to the spirit):
her body and mine
reverberating:
I am a shell
that brings you the sea.
