in the breach

call me from the sea to meet you
in the breach of dawn and dusk
shapes and angles flow to greet you
midnight masses, morning musk

neck to shoulder, limb to toe
rise above and fall below
in the deep, along the sand
breast to bosom, palm to hand

swirl inside this sacred eddy
twirl across the ocean floor
i will leave you sated, ready
nothing wanting, wanting more
