Water

She’s cloaked, to fuse a soul. I sprinkle stardust, to
            form a contour. She peers deeply, and shadowed dearly.
            We spin it numb, a friend of liquor. I cry, “Compass,”
            to furnace a temple. We laugh through rain, unbound

to drift through years. I swoon, to feel a voice, found in lyrics.
Love is grey, a touchless face, racing to faceless.
            It’s more a dream, an hour of kef, streaming through magic.
            I hear it, speeding windmills, as gravid as pressure. It’s
            ever hectic, a small inlet, water for a mystic.
