D.H. Streufert

Reborn

(for Linda)

Liquid words slide
beneath my feet
I am sliding
I am standing
On a bridge of theories - dangling.
The Fish swims by
Kisses
Steals my ring
My finger (phallus) gone
I know
but the bridge evaporates.
The world is blue
with colored words
stroke after stroke
phallusless I
desire
the center circle.
Appearing bridge, black,
grounds me
I _____ in wonder
Dripping.
