The Topography of Your Body
When I gaze upon your body
you are a walking human embodiment
of a tropical archipelago in the sun
where the elevation of your height
and the low lying surface of your limestone skin
meet the shallow banks and blue holes
hidden in the depths of your eyes
while the surge of your heart and adrenaline
pounding like the ocean waves
hopping, jumping and skipping
across the shoreline of your chest
with your lustrous teeth
gleaming like the sight
of the Great Barrier Reef
as magnificent as the day goes by
