Two Poems by Sarah Flint


Bracken Air
 
On a June morning
I swim in slow motion through thick bracken air
The day encircles me
Kissing me gently awake
Licking night sweat from my neck
Making me clean
Rousing me from dreams of midsummer
Chasing grass pollen from my eyes
Running its fingertips down my spine
And
Tasting the dew on my lips
On a June morning
I swim through thick bracken air
 
 
 
Moon Raker
 
Gold morning following Dorset curves to
An ozone breeze above a fallen beach.
Under the Diamond Slab
The sea snapped at my toes
Jokingly.
I hugged the rock
Lovingly
And felt the warmth.
Gulls played in the wind,
Sea shell wings against a ceiling of
Blue blue.
I smelled sea on my tongue
And closed my eyes to see the view
Of walls and waves
And a beach that went on
Forever.
A pearl moon hung in fullness
Over fish and chips
On our fingers and pink sketched sky.
I danced in moon shadow
And drowned in my feather bed
Peacefully.
