My Feet. There's two.
And there walking half a mile,
in the heat, in the sand, I find that
washed downstream, a turn of the tide,
With no other person to complete their strides
Ten toes. Two souls. And Swelter me.
Ankle deep in azure, my serene dynamite.
We could be running, a liquid sun, 
My back melts and dives and whorls,
As it ferments into sea foam.
Churning, head implodes
Like Circe, chastity, a loathing swine,
Paradise mine lost until we forget time.
