Ways of Ocean
we became conversant in the ways of ocean
plunging our arms into the water
we brought up marble flakes in impossible colors
temptation camouflage innocence melancholy
all coated in salt
on the border of shallow pools
stretched straight between the low tide rocks
silvery metallic foam gleamed at each eruption
brightening the surface of words piled up
one on top of another forming spiraling tower
ripple flood current lust fortune desire
fate like veined granite showing off
through small geometric forms
cubes spheres pyramids
protecting the shores for a day of our stay
manmade identities shed as easily as crispy sand
waking –
we saw that we had the same dreams
