You eternal yin yang emblem
You eternal yin yang emblem,
writhing joyously through space,
such a loving twist between them,
tightly bound into the race.
Ancient serpents tails are chasing,
see how follows each from each,
slippy sipping, salty tasting,
breakers dash along the beach.
Darling beast that bends with arched back.
What a carnival of sport!
How is this knotted thing? It not lack
loss? How is it never caught?
Urgent wrestlers crawling crab-wise,
on fresh sands, beneath the sheet.
There their tangled limbs & low sighs
rise and fall with each heart beat.
Contorted spiral, whole that love makes,
climbs to reach the final O.
Easy now, a gentle wave breaks,
slowing ebbing off to go.
