" The Fist Kiss Came With Flame"
The first kiss came with flame
She gave him a flame wine
From her scarlet lips a flame wine
The second kiss came with a sea-wish
She became the sea to him
The pride and anger of the sea she gave him
Three times they had kissed
A third time deep in her winding sea-velvet
She moved in light-shifts of bright sea-velvet for him
Again she came with a long kiss of stars
She beckoned him to a tall dome of stars "
