Once

1.    
Where love is a space of being  
wholly centered center    
alchemical shadow    
pelvic wave    
    
I hold shards    
peeling marrow    
limbed liberty    
   
takes hold    
of my hand    
where lily white    
I behold him    
   
Once I swore    
that if i were to wed    
it would be the ocean    
   
though I fear    
the jest in his gaze    
caught my breath    
   
Bridal gown    
I dreamt    
burgundy    
cried into    
brow    
   
of my blackened    
eyebrow    
once I preserved    
nape of his neck    
   
as I danced    
to each beat    
of his fists    
   
2.    
truth crippled  
in a half-filled glass    
stained window    
   
emptied    
swallowed    
surface    
   
opening    
mantic dusk    
paraphrased    
self    
   
leaning    
towards    
words    
   
3.    
He has cut out    
my eye    
though not    
my sight    
   
beloved one    
   
each time    
through basins    
universal    
mead    
   
nectar    
Elysium    
plains    
return    
to me
