Derelict with eyes
I settle in a quiet
Carnival of waves
Sonia Sanchez

Always
That pure beauty
With such
A smile
Of welcome
— come close
See me, feel me
As I want you
Always to see me
Always to feel me

the vast night—
now nothing less
but the fragrance

Indeed
Our last night
Vast
Does not go anywhere close
The perfumes
Abandoned intensity
Dwarfs
All other thoughts

You
Slip off
Your slip
I
Climb
Into your bed
Together
We turn the potter’s wheel
Towards creation

shall we die together,
my lover whispers—
evening fireflies

Before the death
The living
Empathy
With letters
To and fro
As pen friends
As passengers
Carrying news
Of old places
Of new places
Of the rise
And the fall
Of love’s passions

And then
Mystified
By the coincidence
Of the relevance
Of the sermon
To the situation
