rounded moments shift
expanding with her breathing
Aphrodite's smile
undulating
curves
nothing here is fixed
Love's
impermanence
tall waves curling
white with foam
salt and sand
and ancient-bone
soft as powder
pulverized
winds strafe the beach-grass
slender blades whipped in the sun
whisper in the dunes
footprints by the tidal-pools
fish caught in coral basins
Thetis by the sea
