La Tormenta

              Yucatán Peninsula
          
for Lee


This is how the world was
lightning on the rim
and a small boat
moving away forever
lantern swinging
over a veiled sea.

We had the world to ourselves.
I was the veils,
You were the boat.
You were the lantern.
I was the swinging.
You were the lightening.

I was the waves,
You were the sea.
 I was forever.
We were the horizon.
You were moving away.
We were the storm.
