When I closed my eyes, we were in the ocean
a little more than hip deep
and the waves kept lapping up against us, hitting our
bare chests, no one there but us
and the pale full moon lit up the purple sky
but it didn't discount the stars which normally
I'd find prosaic but here, tonight, behind my lids
the stars were giant, twinkling orbs, bigger than you'd
see from earth, usually. Bigger than a geo metro, maybe.
Just dancing up there above us. We weren't touching or
really even looking at each other. With no hardwoods, I
stare at the ocean floor. I think you like it when I look
down.
