sarong of self

closing your eyes
you come close to yourself
just before sleep

folding your mind round your body
wavelike

yourself a sarong
ocean silk blue green
with pink blossom health

while your body is wrapped up
you're thinking
naming the oceans

Indian Ocean
Atlantic Ocean
Pacific Ocean

close to closing your eyes
you keep naming the oceans

are they one ocean only
or separate sea selves

is there one self in the world only
or are we all one

yourself a sarong
ocean silk blue green
with pink blossom health
