Jun 2012
We lie awake in the cozy sheets of the shoreline,
letting the infant ripples crawl over us
and then slink silently away to the sea.  
Your bare legs tremble
with each gust of wind,
with each heavy breath,
with each gentle touch,
with each kiss.  
The speckled sand remaining on my lips envelope yours
and a trickle of peppermint breath swims across the tip of my jaw,
as I lull you to sleep.  
We are the ocean,
the turquoise kissing a burst of orange sunlight on the horizon.  
We are infinite.
