I. tears might – full range, doves white
reach from full wind blue
sad falling tears in between
beauty from the moon’s eyes
II. and the midnight affect upon the sea
almost heaven as flowers plumed flesh
as doubly said – white breathless downy
III. a thought of beauty, herself
at once wings float the night
lunation adhering to innocence left at seaside
first feelings, first sea from sea-knocking love
IV. all turns to fade, at first
to unmake a final, listen to
set of waves on shelves begun
into the antigone sunrise breaking waves
V. on the (water) within bounds of reason
VI. tears fold easy, eyes see beyond the open
