cosmic twins

collage by Robynthepaperboy

The grey sea and the long black land

And the yellow half-moon large and low

And the startled little waves that leap

In fiery ringlets from their sleep

As I gain the cove with pushing prow

And quench its speed i' the slushy sand

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach

Three fields to cross till a farm appears

A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch

And blue spurt of a lighted match

And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears

Than the two hearts beating each to each

Meeting At Night by Robert Browning
