Ocean Woman

Your dark hair drowns me.
Our bodies
seaweed tangled.
Wet.
The sea grapes glisten
and my whole heart listens
to the rhythmic wash
of your breath.

Break over the sands of my naked waist.
Your gently foaming hands
your silver fingers.
Make me ripple and swell
in the trembling depths
of your climactic love.
