Being alone in the dark

being alone in the dark
space of morning- rain sashaying so lightly that she had to open all the windows

without worry, the thoughts
of excess spill in spirals-- akin
to the invisible stars sighing beyond the tangible soak of saturday rain-how could
any one disdain

the words giddyap on and on
 like drunken sailors, singing songs for circe

vessel going nowhere....awash with wind, salty fish flapping
 on fine teak planking

'Thirsty boots', and 'Norwegian wood' heard by an enchanted mermaid, becomes a classic surrendering serenade

for the mermaid moaning,  'groove me, move me baby,'
now it's simply, sit by my side, 
'in the sunshine of your love'*
