.....when the gods finally came to their senses....

ARC
~Cyress Cassells

The wild sweet work of union:

you cover me,
as the engrossing sea,
the neighboring wind,
might cover me,
with the clearest insistence -

till, all at once, I recall,
from the Iraklion museum,http://www.dilos.com/region/crete/iraklion_museum_pictures.html
the blue dolphin fresco:
supple harbingers,
jesters-
how could I have guessed
they'd come
to suffuse me
with their freshness -

I feel your cool, unfaltering
fingers on my tongue,
an inchoate fire
in my spine, in each
atom of my body.

And I swear this time
we'll ascend to the place
where the Beloved reclaims us:

stopless, pellucid place -

Relinquishers,
bliss breathers,
illusionless, in Aegean air,

the dolphins arc above hazard.
