the knot came untied
all by itself.
My dress,
held up by the strings of a loosened belt,
barely stayed on my hips.

When he touched my body,
I couldn’t at all remember
who he was,
who I was,
or how It was.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

nor small fish glitter and dart,

of the wild sea-thyme
cover the silent walls
of an old sea-city at rest.”

“English literature is a flying fish.”
