Duty
By Adam Ahmed

Reach for metaphor, poet.
Give soft leap over gorging grace
and love more than life
her face.

each breast fell upon your hand
and you thought of water.

You shall reach for love:
harvest shadow from back,
and watch her evaporate
into a stream of light,

she falls forward
and my flesh breaks
into gulls.

That's really nice - reminds me of Neruda - are you a fan?

Oh yes, I'm a big fan
