Body of Water

Written By Loretta Ryan-Krawczyk

Sand grit

Packed gauze

Waves come in

To flush the wounds

Surface tension

Breaking

Releasing

This ache into

Slippery soft

Sunlit water

Sea swelling

Lifting

I take your

Shimmering

Heaviness

To my lips

Salt surrounds

Our bodies

We drink

The brine
