Shall I?
By Sappho
Recompleted by Lisa Jain Thompson
I don't know what to do
I say yes--and then no
the waves lap at my feet
splashing white water over my toes
and pulling the sand
from beneath me
grain by grain
the sand tumbles back into the sea
only to wash again
along another shore line
my desire for you is constant
it is my own fear
that makes tremble
and cling to my eroding beach
I say yes--and then no
the waves lap at my feet
splashing white water over my toes
and pulling the sand
from beneath me
grain by grain
the sand tumbles back into the sea
only to wash again
along another shore line
my desire for you is constant
it is my own fear
that makes tremble
and cling to my eroding beach
