The sea she said and who could ever drain it dry

has so much purple in its caves the wind at dusk

incriminates the waves

and certain fish conceal it in their shells

at ear-pressure depth

where the shimmer of headache dwells

and the brain goes

dark

purple

who could offend the sea there is so much water

we might as well waste this ever-replenished

fairy-tale stuff don’t flinch she said

I want you to walk this carpet

please oh please

you must be so so

footsore after your ten-year war you surely

deserve a little something if you

take off your shoes the bare floor will be so cold so

filthily infectious you should step down safely
