Like a mermaid
you lie washed up
on the beach.
We, its only
people.
I bury first
your ankles
leaving ten tiny toes
naked just for a whim
then proceed
to the knees.
Your patellas vanish.
You squirm
wiggle & giggle
as your polka-dot
bikini bottom
disappears
beneath the sands...in...time.
Oooops...there goes your belly button.
Then, tenderly
I cover each breast
leaving only two startled nipples
standing up for themselves.
Only your
head now
exists
its fiery ringlets
spilling out from...flowing out of
as if it were
a perpetual well
of fiery tresses.
“Un-bury me! ”
you demand
& I obey
your command
uncovering...discovering
bit by bit
the pleasures of your flesh
your sex
marks the spot
I bringing once again
to light
your buried treasure.
We make love
you still half submerged
The tide
lapping & laughing
at our heels.
