Seriously, that is unbelievable photography. The only nude posing I've ever done for a professional photographer has been while 8 months pregnant. The shots didn't turn out quite as good as these. But still pretty good. :)
"I who have always been" is such a sea-creature/goddess thing to say. I love this poem. Beautiful and true.
This is a really cool image to write to, and of course, the really cool writer has produced a short poem to embody it. This is actually a very free verse friendly sort of form, giving a cadence, but keeping a freestyle expression--you, as usual when you dip your hand in the form pond, aced it completely.
I love everything about this poem (and am so impressed you wrote to form). This, to me, celebrates everything that is natural, and abandoned and in touch with the elements. Let anyone who does not understand that back off.
Very true, my little friend. There is so much more possibility than there is actuality. In that gray region where the truth is slippery and intriguing is where I am happiest.
That is one hot body you've got there, Shay. ;)

ReplyDeleteBreathtaking ... the underwater photography and your words.
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty and such a complete idea/statement you've expressed. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I love being a healthy heterosexual man. As they say in spanish 'oh my god, are you beautiful'. Ooops, did I say that in English.
ReplyDeleteDon't hold it against me for being truthful.
Ack! My virginal eyes! ;-)
