We walked for a while on the busy street you were merging and fading among the people in and out of focus. Your hair was spiky our shirts were like stopsigns-headlights reflecting into our bodies the lights were just a line they were here and there.
On the sand where the ocean echoed back to us - it was no ocean in the first place, we dived like tatooed necklaced dolphins into the sea and smoke, but no, into the sand instead, and came out fresh and a little tired, and into the light where all our friends were. On the sand where we were sitting barefoot we sipped up our reluctance we smoked our fears we injected our objections were fear is but a dream life is not in history books life is now, we said, and we felt like hippies drinking of love and smoking up peace On the sand They were drawing us in spary paint on sheets of cloth in blue, you and me and they.
When the fire started we were already lost
where courage music played
we were uniformed tightly
a beat at a beam of computer
vibrating to the ocean
and getting vibrations back.
When the fire started
everybody went to the beach
to watch as it was all going down
the sky rolling down on it's stars
and the ocean calling back up.
People on the promenade stopped to watch as one
as we melted into a vangogh
but they were no concern of ours.
What we saw
wile drifting into the crowds into eachother
apart for a moment
then back again
like the tides
what we saw now was the very same thing.
A swirl containing the spectrum at parts
the oceans drained from dolphins and hopes
all falling into now,
the sky
the water
the synthesizer.
It was the very same thing as the crowd on a Eilat promenade at quarter past midnight, late November.
(freeze version) (sand
it itches my eyes
it vibrates with the beat
which sinks into earth
and everywhere
earth
the country turns
on it's heels this night
like every other
(in a week)
and we are the axis)
