your skin the push of sea
a mouth lost to the tug of moon
and i find you on wet stones and
tongue of rock reaching from the
heaving aqua
your hair whipped and lashed
the gale of your emergence and breach
of tide, water tugs you back as you
struggle and shrug to lose the fingers
of waves and your glistening dark seal skin
i pummeled, and pushed struggled in
tide and moon rise, slipped and crawled
the crags bruised to tangle my hands
in the whips of your hair
as your fingers scrapped to peel that
intimate pelt from your froth of heat and wave
a creature of water and salt birthing to
stone and earth,
and i scrabble the tempest bleeding torment
of sea and agony of skin,
you peel into my life and i secret this precious
pelt from your sea green breath
holding you to my desire and claims of earth and stone.
