Walking together along the shore, Hand in hand, shoulders touching, Waves splash across our feet, And for a moment, this moment, I have never been so much at peace. The warm breeze fills my ear Like your quick-hot breath, And I taste the saltspray on my tongue Like your comfortable moisture. Where the water slides across the beach It glows the color of your arms, your legs, your face, While further up, the dry sand has the creamy, golden tone Of your softer, hidden skin. Look behind us here at how The gray, relentless sea removes The evidence that we have walked, While in front of us, The sands of Cancún curve away Into a swollen orange late-day sun. There is only now, my love, Ahorita.
