Oyster

the salt sweats into the flung spray
  the stirred spume of the waters  
   twining the molecules of the morning's
     gaze
to windward it lazily plays
  like the woman's electric touch
   the dawn touching the enlivening
    day

the oxygens come evident through the languidly, scented
  haze

sitting curled atop the dabbled cover, sipping coffee

with rhythmic grace she bends, sending
  skin and fascination within her stretching, seeming
   form
in deep quiddity and fire

like the Gulf's thick air, she fills my dry lungs
like the salt she sends to my eyes

to sights delicious in the tides of the night
spent, the sensed yen
spooned loose on salted
meat

like water that
pulls across bone white 
sand

rolling, turning, roping into 
warm, green depths
again

steps lightened with release
 the morning sweet in its suspension of
  abiding
   unease

long limbs settled fine.  rubbers and lipstick lines
  indulge and dine on the purer pleasures 
   of the tree

the woman, the salt, the blending skin, and the
  sea.
