Twilight

nasturtiums, monkshood and one datura blossom in the outdoor bath// here opium  floats in our tea// we are eating warm bread from the jew baker, wild boar sausage and smoking cigars after midnight// driftwoodsmoke tangled in our hair, always// one night when no one was there we briefy swam naked with the phosphorescents//traced mountain lion tracks with our tongues at sunrise
