Elopement (Other) by Sasha
That afternoon as your pupilâs blue
Reflected and magnified
The water that rose and water that fell
And we lay by rhythmic tide,
You held me so I couldnât tell
The sea from the waves in your eyes
Or either from the flood of blue
That spilled across the skies.
I sunk in you and, through and through,
became no longer me.
We rose and we fell as if we two
might imitate the sea.
No scouring ship nor plane that flew
Would ever find me there:
Sunken in you, awash in your blue
By the shore of your sand-bright hair.
