Synapse

turquoise sea, sunlit shafts filter

through humpback waves, our limbs

boneless, wrestle, our torsos twine

your sex a minnow inside me probes

spasms, wanes, my nerves sympathize

fail to crystallize, flood like tide

toward what won’t be found, shiver

vs arrive, over & gone, sea’s blood

heat, sea fills the hollow, muffles

ache, afloat a something to stand on

makes no claim, sandfuls curl

the toes I rise from, salty glade  

schools of fish loose, like spears

fling from shade to speckled light
