Adrienne Rich
...And now: it is easy to forget
what I came for
among so many who have always
lived here
swaying their crennelated fans
between the reefs
and besides
you breathe differently down here.
I came to explore the wreck.
The words are purposes.
The words are maps.
I came to see the damage that was done
and the treasures that prevail.
I stroke the beam of my lamp
slowly along the flank
of something more permanent
than fish or weed
the thing I came for:
the wreck and not the story of the wreck
the thing itself and not the myth
the drowned face always staring
toward the sun
the evidence of damage
worn by salt and sway into this threadbare beauty
the ribs of the disaster
curving their assertion
among the tentative haunters.
This is the place.
And I am here, the mermaid whose dark hair
streams black, the merman in his armored body...
About Me? hrmm, what might you be wanting to know? poke around, plenty of facets and crannies lying about, stories to be told if you know to be doing the asking. livejournal keeps me alive to the fact that not everything in the 'real world' is as dull as it seems. everyone makes their own world. show me yours. ^_^
