Octopus Vulgaris

fill your notebook
with found objects
from lost hearts,

and plant a kiss 
on/in me, 
from cheek to shining sea,

draw a picture
and give it eyes,
then write a song about its lashes,

spiral-sided,
confided,
I hope you dance,

yourself is the steam
in my seamless dreams,
everything I have seen,

no cold period,
just a hot forever,
and many many (many!) tentacles.
