feel a woman, ate up
by sea
all the color
in her face
bled into ocean
free
swimming
untraced
pink
for rosy cheeks
and lilac
for painted nails
and her husband, raising sails
while she shrieked
how she shrieked
for shoreline
how she screamed
for his eye
"look at me."

i'm the ghost in the back of your head.
