Ocean

OBX



















It's not the charge to the beach that pleases me most

But the slipping back

The tendrils of foam and the shine and the burrowing crabs.


It's not the bells of the sea that speed my heart

But the hiss of the swash

The settling fragments of shells and the effervescence.


Passion first then the gradual unfolding

A slow eroticism

If you are meant for this, you know.
