Engulfed

Surrender and love

Engulfed — a poem by Pemba Umoja

Lying outside naked in rain,

cool pellets cascade over my tingling numbness.

Rivulets of water

flow in a maze beneath.

Hands outstretched,

face-down on pavement—

no borders,

no fear.

I am in bliss.

Your love entombs me;

I am engulfed by you.
