Deep or shallow
she's into
swimming pools
sometimes more than she's into me
she can hold her breath for as long
as I may tread within her waters
thalassic
undine
unbidden
this hand of hers stretches out to me
our liberty renew
our gradual sureness
in aquarium
--a place for relating to--
a dive of faith
my lungs fill with the liquidity of her
a soft shorebreak
to the occasional tidal wave
together we ripple the matrimonial surface
