Sea sky

Sea shaded,
  earth mated,
pools of sky left behind by the tide-
  layers of stones
brushed by the combs of waves
  in their great grace,
continuing a rhythm of ageless
  syncronicity 
 
I am naked, I am
  eating my bread in a bed
of opal brown kelp,
  where anemones sway pinkgreen softness,
and muscles breathe their slow blue breath
  at the salt of my skin,
    at the place I have been for so long,
eroding away those things
   I need to be free of.
Sanding me down to the basics again-
  bones and blood
and my fingers to touch all
  of you-
 
I am sea shaded, I am
  earth mated
 
following the will of the way
  of the waters,
trying, in this body,
  to be absolutely
 
                 nothing
 
but a tiny piece of the sky
within the vast expanse.
