Octopus Arms

Slippery tentacles swirl,

overlapping each other

in eagerness,

engulfing,

embracing,

the others.

To be mindless

clay thoughts

clumping, and

separating

with the tide.

Slimy, as seaweed

but smoother, and yet

bumpier

as well.

Slipping, sliding,

simple thoughts of

embrace;

simple arms of the

octopus.
