I've trembled underneath the vibrant touch

I've trembled underneath the vibrant touch
of her soft fingers. The patterns of the shells
and the lapping of the ocean, the soft couch
holds her warm body and I begin to smell
her neck under dark hair. The words are spelled
by the stars, the light falls down and I taste
the heavens gratefully. The ocean swells
with the light of the Moon: the quiet artist
counting out months. I trace around her waist
and hip, I hear her breath, I start to see
the purple of a new dawn. She is the pace
of the morning bird's song, the wide sea
cannot contain her. I squint through the sheer
veil and then testify to what I've heard.
