Divide Us
for J.B.

shower curtain, frosted glass

I hear the water running
I know she’s in there bare

how fast my heart beats
to behold her, to wrap
her wet body about
with big towel, big hug

kisses to cover her with
jaws full of strawberries
thoughts upon the rocks

the sea washes in
poet dreaming up words

sea birds, sea gulls
