I will wade out
                     till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
i will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                   Alive
                                           with closed eyes
to dash against darkness
                                 in the sleeping curves of my body
shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea girls
                            will i complete the mystery of my flesh
i will rise
              After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
          And set my teeth in the silver of the moon
