The Ionian

By -
As my foot left sand
I leapt into a different self:
a dancer in the under-sky.
Doubts can't swim -
they live in cities.
This satisfaction is imbued in salt -
I want nothing.
My fingers slide in the direction of the hills
through surface stars,
the water in me reunites,
kicking.

This morning I saw seagulls

This morning I saw seagulls, Far from the sea Circling the moon I can not tell the type of day I'm walking in to -  The Sun, on the other side, said it loved me But I have a stone in my shoe On the way to the station Change can be mysterious, it can be Frustration. I am far from the sea Circling the night - The only certain answer To a day of Question.  LJ Ireton 2023
