Aswim

One such summer I

sun of nothing

took your hand in mine

we

upon the smoothed pebbles

journeyed

down to the sea

Naked

and we slipped

steady

In

Shedding our clothes

our accumulated selves

I loved you

I loved you

That I

was free

Like blood from a vein

Flowing, pulsing with life

and inevitably

Lost.
