Sea kisses
mingle with
sand
sand on my skin
sand in my hair:
you are earth drawn,
slow rolling
like the tide:
small birds bicker
& eyes climb to
silver leafed tree,
then sky,
oh, the sky
high, wide, empty.
We walk in time
ankle to ankle
black & white.
For a small hour
all seems parallel:
my complicated world
shifts till curse of mind
draws me back.
Still, memory
of touch
lingers.
Sun baked kisses,
the heat throbbed
sun of you.
