She is Sea

No goddess

is languid moans,

drooling shadows

in barren rust.

She is sea,

never sleeping,

but raw,

compelling in the honeyed moon.

Her gown of blue

is a symphony;

waxing when the day smears black,

waning as the pink sun rises.

She whispers—

a mist spraying

man’s thousand ships,

all enchanted by her tongue.

They could bleed

in her watery breast,

weeping for life,

only to ache in death.

Yet, man is swimming;

his feet licked by her waves,

swathed by her skin.

And she is worshiped.

Of the magnetic poems, this is my favorite.
