Skimming The Ocean

I don't count the waves
Shaking me; perhaps fearful
Of going under.

After a pure kiss
Changed to salt; pushed back on shore—
Scars beneath my feet;

2 a.m. holds no
Claim to drown; a darkened throw
Of sand to heaven.

World bawled in a fist,
Where she is held up, not far
From me— home, not far.
