Our Claims
my fine silk hair
slips down
between
our fireworks
diamonds at my throat
a nest of kings
in my womb
your body built
in strong sands
fought and traded
in sea stalls
we are our flags
and the tents
under which we lay
full
we are salt-sided ships
breathing high above
a moving waterline
our promises
rain into oceans
catching a mermaid's eye
you are only mine
and I your only allegiance
