Two Vows at Mont. St. Michel (a Nuptial Fantasy)
Christophe Brunski
a Nuptial Fantasy
Gifting
(to Sarah)
Swimmer,
When you rescued me from the airsphere
You clutched my voice and pulled me
Under the surface of words
There I gaze for you in the light-webbed wavebreak
To attain the depth of simplicity's waters
Fluttertonguing imagined weather from the recalitrant shoreline:
Par terre sous les ardeurs les murmures mouillès
Je donne
A ring and Paris for you
A painpath I followed
Drown me angel
Endurance
(to Christopher)
Hermetic emblem-shedder,
You are a perfectly naked orb
Faceless and suspended in the middle of your void.
And although your mind wraps its spiny tendrils
Around my shoulders, breath, chest, and neck
Around everything thriving in the flesh
You are the quintessential definition
Of the impatient urge
To surpass the mire of being and being.
