under

the wave
comes

big
beautiful
delicious

delirious
orgasmic
crashing

heavy heavy

hands
to head

bright spots
fizzing

skin eyes

pull
away

hurtful
violet
heaves
down
hot

fresh
ocean
salt

waves hurtling
over over

clutching head
drawing knees

up up to
chin

a soft
sea urchin

my body
swallows
great gulps

rising
to
slurp
the fear

heavenwards

sucking
sweet
glory

the taste
of mothers’
tears

it is too late
to be afraid

of drowning
