I am an island and you are the sea.

I would like to work upon your waves
with my hands, slick with the blood
of a thousand tiny fishes, their scales
a patchwork map on the outcropping.

I would like to tell your gulls to stop
their mad singing and allow me to whisper
a message to your ears, shell-shaped
words echoing, cavernous, losing meaning.

I would like to dip my fingers into you
drowning the tips inside your skin, cool
and alarming, ready to devour even the smallest
the saddest of offerings.

I would like to disappear under your surface,
sinking inside a seashell, Aphrodite before birth.
I would like to swim in the belly of the whale.
I want you to take me, whole.

But I am an island
and you are the sea.

ThumbnailOkay, here's the thing with this novel: it has been up there, on my Top 10 list, ever since I read it. I discovered it even before it had stickers saying that this was recommended by Oprah or whatever - I read it because the cover was pretty and the... more

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. I am one of the lucky few who actually even OWN a copy of the song, and given the current circumstances Bel is in, the song even takes on a more poignant, painful undertone. Written while she was... more

Merry Christmas! :) Was supposed to send you an email with a homemade card but then I realized, I don't have your email address and the only person I can ask it from is already sleeping. Hope your Christmas celebration is fantastic.
