***
She comes to me in sunshine. Her hair is burning gold. She wears white cotton. We walk into the afternoon.
She leads me to the water. She points to the boats. She holds my hand and smiles. We watch the wind.
She lays a cloth before us. She feeds me tea and oranges. She swaddles me in linen. Her voice is the river.
She takes me to her. She suckles me with fire. She tells me I am free. I ask her what my name is.
She walks into the harbor. She slips beneath the seaweed. She rises like the morning. The grass grows past my ankles.
She offers me a flower. She calls me her lover. She shows me the tower. I have nothing left to give her.
