In Search of Peace

The tiny thrusts 
and a blunt fuel
scrambled over the wet contours.
           There was an ephimerality 
           in overdue kisses 
           of death.

The interplay of sex
and spirituality starts,
bites the bullet and pushes the boat.
           The pungency of an elegy
           was a secondhand divorce
           with death.

Jealousy: sand was
under the nails. Now
I will find the remains of an ocean
           in your eyes. There was nothing
           else to be done than taking off
           the bikini top like a death.
