The Burning

The sun is a burning magnet on the water.     Durable, our boat is a sizable pretzel in the arms of the bay.     Warmth with contortion, the clash of passions     tug the funnelled swooned water.     Greenery, that inlet of the ocean,     lies precarious and submerged.     Life, subsidized by water,     is within its hope, bubbling in embers,     froth drunk with suds     hammered against the boat's edge.     What is this, this sky     home of the transparent sun.     Blue agony,     burning up with delerium,     the wet pastel illusion slides against our craniums.     Crass, crass the movement of the waves     across a low bow, excessively pleasant.     All the more     troubled vistas     blue with hegemony over earth,     drowsiness dropping a plague of lapping edges;     a strength pried from graves.     This sea of ours sags, heaves in deep     displacement, fulfills my liquid caress.
