ENCOUNTER
by Ann Mortifee
Beyond the mind we meet
You, a boy
I, a silent watcher
You break like ocean foam
Upon my shore
We are undone
All the blood lipped passion
Cannot undo
this our soul encounter
Bodies churn and drift
Yet under all the waves
Currents eternal
Split continents apart
And set plankton hurtling
Toward their destination
Once again
