Ripples

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
