between two earths

between two earths

A Poem by A.M. Nelson

that light play light
on curled
strands of hair--
shadows 'twixt, bound to
body, borne on air.
'tween the spaces
where form is found,
light shaping body
out of the black
(and into the blue)

 

for slim slow
shadow dance--

 

with flow, water
falls-
the sky, its back
glistening,
softly glows

 

like mermaid scales
singing into the deep--
water as the song
the sea as instrument.

 

moon and spellbound toe
make waves, rolling
to the deep,
water streaks with melodies
silver streaming through
as sunlight breaks
the peace.


but from toe the light
smiles out from dark,
and limbs form between
sky and sea--

 

shadow bleeds
on ocean skin; white foam,
crest, and salt

 

like falling leaves
caught between two earths.
