Of Salt and Mountains
Editor’s note: In honor of National Poetry Month, poems through May 16 have been selected from books released in 2020 and ’21 by Texas authors.
Meet me where the land meets the sea
Where the closeness of the water and the crags Becomes sacred
Where the sky is our favorite roof overhead Where we may indulge in our vast surroundings Our very own wilderness
Where I can kiss you in the fashion that I please Passionately and loudly
Oh, so loudly
That even the angels will know
How much I love you
When they hear each kiss I plant
On your warm, windblown cheeks
Meet me where the land meets the sea
