Two Islands

Painting borrowed from Bing


Two Islands

we are two islands in a red sea
drifting in circles, in the glow of the sun
drunk on some potion – call it love, or lust
I prefer to see the Universe arranging us to order
swirling in some galactic wine glass
my lipstick on your rim
your fingers on my stem

they said it wouldn’t last
