Love Beckoned Culminated In One Stanza
by Philip F De Pinto
love
the sun
gesticulating
in the air
will be caught
in our net
and negotiating for breath
long before love has set
and the kombu curled
round its dorsal fin
dooms spells
on clappers and bells
and speaks of a dart
shot cross the gulfs of the heart
of her and him
and hermits scurrying in the sand
keeping pace with the bulls
running in love's hosiery
whose well heeled fabric
is fraying like hand
woven to hand
on the cusp of prayer
had you and me
spooning by the sea
not chucked
the butt of our love
in its urinal
had we left our Bic
at home
had we not lit
our mutual nail
and toked it to smolder
not miser
had we been older
and wiser
had the flick
felled our ash
like Rome
and not a leaf
our love would be brief
not eternal
