Cool Dipper Down Formed of the searching and sweat by countless second chances When I am most spent and least resilient, do I reach and refill Gulping down the cool in clear blue memories: You flood my soul A horizon of easy, alight with sea green gasps, and frothy waves Where brine might have healed the gape, but fresh water now wells I let go of ropes and tangled hopes that keep me safely where I was To ask you not for what we had, instead to join the teasing tide Down deep into the caverns of remember me echoes, deep down Into attachment and hope I will, each drink cupped in my hands Licked off my fingers, a probing kiss To search your mind and find the sweet solace of your lips That we might find by taste our destiny Copyright Kkh 7/25/10 |

"I let go of ropes and tangled hopes that keep me safely where I was" I can taste the cool metal of the dipper TD it quenches what thirsts me |
