Living Spa Water

From Northern seas—

a pointillist dream; a woman of lithe measures descending into the sensation

—a noun rather than an adjective

 

Her ideology—

blowing across infinities of sand

—provides imperfect warmth

to her hyacinths

and nethers

 

There's something terrifically

oceanic about it—she starts out

softly floating and then

whips herself up into

a gorgeous, overbearing squall

 

She can tell that there are storms

in each and every pore—but

the difficulty of teasing out

their contours reinforces

the impression that this

is private skin
