Spring Break Iv - Love of the Ocean
A boy on the verge of manhood
Can lift a girl effortless
Her crotch to his chest
In the weightless ocean
The young woman
Eye to eye with the soon-to-be man
Who possesses surprising strength
She is taken he is amazed
They should stay there forever
Up to their shoulders
In the curling surf
Never come out
To where the burden is heavy
And innocence dries up in the air
Like salt and seaweed
Crusting the skin
Stay in love
Would be my advice
Remain whole in the rolling sea
Entwined as one
Gazing
To one another
Heart to heart ear to ear
Teal eels of equals.
