Poems by Francis Masat

 

Quakes and Wrecks

"A sloop of amber slips away
      Upon an ether sea,
And wrecks in peace a purple tar
     The son of ecstasy."

- Emily Dickinson

And to rejoin in kind we must:

Two lips of coral lie once more
      Beneath a seaside mound,
Where quakes abating caused the gods
      To sigh a dying sound.

Cosi

What god knew
to take her speech?
She never said
"I love you." Not once.
She always used
her eyes.
