Your body consumes the sun
Your body consumes the sun
and spreads it through the sand.
The sea heaves and fills your eyes
watching me far in the swell
as I am pulled by the tide
and push my way to shore.
The fishermen, monumental and erect
steer their driftwood boats to harvest.
A bonfire burns each night
throwing ash into the humid air
and our words are carried off by swarms of bats
drifting with their prey towards the moon.
The sea roars us awake
and your body lights the room.
