This man was an interlude ... not permanent, but entertaining. Hey, it was the '70's. That was my period of beautiful men. Totally shallow.

 

I have come upon your body
Like a sailor
Lost on an uncharted sea
With no channel markers
But your eyes
To guide me.
Your belly is my compass;
My fingers, the sextant.
Carefully, I plot my way
Through rocks and shoals,
Stormy nights, becalmed days.
 
Land sighted.
My port ‘o call.
 
You.

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
