On Terra Firma In ITQ

The ocean's a drum fault and sheer;
to me, breakout from dark, this sphere,
that the sunk water lapsing veers —
hours of footprints away from here,

Missing this density timeless 
with each sanddollar I will wreck,
for today I'm also in shreds — 
in the foam, this form, it lays death.

Like as the deep deep, her I love,
and I loved still, her back to run —
her buoy pushed under, then gone, 
only passing wind in seagulls

This kiss in and out seamouth's tide —
on water, moon's curled by her side.
