Desert by the Sea
Christoph Schultz, Manuel Gardner Fernandes
Borders blur in flow
As your legs plunge in sea
The ocean burns in the sun, or the wet moon
Smooths down the desert dunes
Your heavy body sleeps
And shakes when the waves arrive
Now keep your eyes shut –
Somewhere between our glances is darkness
Wait until you drink it
Somewhere between our words is quietness
Wait until it drinks you
As water
Slowly
Sinks in you –
Then breathe it like air
Sleep
Dream
Keep breathing and forget
What we know –
Shut your eyes inwards
