ONCE
I was that girl nude and brimming
who
plunged
into
the
sea
one
night
to
quench
her
ravening
pores
letting
salt
water
slide
like
a
boy's
hands
over
her
smooth
belly
slip
between
her
limbs
sea
salt
to
her
salt
blending
Bubbles
spurl
from
fingertips
and
toes
her
body
swirling
phosphorescence
as
galaxies
above
her
whirl
that
just now
touch
her
these
years
later
with
spent
light
