she wants to go to the sea

the sea pours off of me
as I drew close to her
towering and gently swaying
dreaming, with the sea
still showing on my hands,
wide open

what do you want with the sea?
her hand was hot and rough on my arm

having heard the call to prayers,
she had spread out her hands to the sky
had prostrated herself in prayer,
went back to my dreams, to the sea
