a salt sea
as you navigate your waters,
a salt sea pulsates your body.
a blood river meanders through it.
in the push and flow you examine your eyeball
and listen to the ocean in your ear,
but you can never find the boundary of the skin.
you never know where you should end and he might begin:
you feel you are a wave and he is the sand.
or he is a long strand of kelp and you are the forest.
maybe you are a school of fish and he is the food
they throw from the glass-bottom boat.
maybe both of you are the salt,
or he is a shark, or just a friendly dolphin
whose language you wish you could learn.
