A Flow Poem by RIC BASTASA

A Flow



when we are in bed
we become like two rivers
flowing with each other.

when my face gets too
near your face we become
like two mountains separated
by a moon rising from
a deep forest

my tongue becomes roots
and looks for the place
where water freely falls
on a ground that is
wet and soft

and you too become like me
flowing, wanting for an opening
wanting to fill a space
of our common emptiness

when we fuse like profuse
lights from opposite directions
on a very faint rainfall
we make a rainbow
between two cliffs

when we hold hands we are
like two creeks meeting and
then forming a channel
that fuse looking for the entrance
towards the sea

and when we start to kiss and
make love and letting go every
worry and anxiety that we have
when we are finished we feel

we have found the gateway to
the sea and there we lose ourselves
to the vastness of the oceans
to the deepest of its floors

and then we are complete.
we become entwined with the universe.
