rain-drenched and disheveled

For Magdelana.

— 

rain-drenched and disheveled
i will be guided by your grace
place my feet in the mist-kissed pattern of your own

and dance

swifter than disillusionment,
no time for shame
or self-rot,
or self-not,
i devolved into the sound
of rain
and i sang to you
of rivers and oceans
salt-touched mornings    
and dark blue nights    

until I lay against your breasts
wet beads of perspiration,        
the scars of your dance,
one and the same.
