Illustration by Dick for Jeff's 2009 book "Chatter in the Canopy" - Booksurge, Charleston, SC. ISBN 13: 978-1439214817
Seduction
It's the sand in your voice that lures me.
That and the moonlight buttering your long ribs.
You can shout into the wind through cupped hands.
I can smell the salt and wet canvas.
What if I surrender to your rolling, black valleys
To the tops of mountains, kissed away?
When we collapse flat-faced and ordinary
On tar-colored foam and a dead skate - what then?
-Jeff Roberts 2009
