Theirs was a music sinuous globular

"'Theirs was a / music sinuous globular-' *

he stands, crumpled
, deflated.
she sits,
toes disturbing the sand
salt pools in her lap
soaked into skin.
In the moonlight
everything is unclear
-except-
the twists in her face
and the crests of crashing waves.
all that's left now
is the long gritty walk
back to normal.


*(e.e. cummings, 'Cleopatra built') "
