Broken

??????

Your bed is broken - a climax of ultimate growth
elemental as earth, sea or sky
the sun's heat (without a fixed intensity)
stillness given back a hundred fold
steel glasslike - strong yet fragile - indifference
in abundance

Your bed is broken - like the sun's brake to a gloomy day
a sky of sublime heaviness (alive)
the thunder bounces back upon itself
dense and narrow (between us)
closer than jaws
and we draw nearer (still) (without a fixed intensity)

Your bed is broken - a climax of intimate doom
vast
remarkable for the longness of its stay (its slopes
and quick array - a host of flimsy reason)
(between you and I)
(a spread of desire)

Your bed is broken - unused for sleeping (unless)
a pool where swarming increased the speed of use
(where miracles do happen) never far away
bringing new thoughts
(to play) in elemental proof ---
(water earth wind fire)

Your bed is broken - an island in my mind (in green-gray seas
where gale-force winds pick up speed)
pale under the sun's quiet heat
a breeze stirs (and white caps reach the beach)
(glimpses of shyness) in rough keeping
struggling (elemental) - your bed is broken.
