Blue-Deep

Dear sea, blue-deep
alkali drink, blessed

sea, silk-lined body
that is not body but

a bowl, a basin filled
with foaming, salty milk

and shoreline, heaving
at your tresses, adhesive

soles of sunlight to
shadows of your feet;

eyes, the hearts of men
unfastened, struck by

fragments of your beauty-
blue-deep, blessed sea.
