ABSORPTION

Like two bowls immersed

into the velvet ocean

swaying beside

the shiny golden box

you once sank

to the bottom of the sea

in one of your sonnets...

The ocean gently seeps

through us

while we leak back into it

and flood each other.

Raised to the surface by the

secret of the box's content

we emerge out of the water

and disappear

in crescendo of waves.
