sun in my mouth

i will wade out till my thighs

are steeped in burning flowers

i will take the sun in my mouth

and leap into the ripe air alive

with closed eyes

to dash against darkness

in the sleeping curves of my body

i shall enter fingers of smooth mastery

with chasteness of seagulls

will i complete the mystery of my flesh

- from 'impressions' by ee cummings
