Tidal

Your pull on me is tidal

all my blood yearns towards you

you set and rise within my head

you are out there, just beyond the stars

turning your dance in ordered ellipsis,

your hips the sway of the universe

I dream of you, your smooth lines

and places where you have been chipped

your laughter is the chuckle

of the cosmos when I awake,

new moon, rising in the west

tied to my veins
