i do write about sand so often

it's all disappeared in the midnight sand
beneath the rise of the moon and the shift of the stars
it's our sole right to say, "we tamed this."
and with the slide of your fingers along the nape of my neck
water singing and spheres humming and skin holding skin
i know that it was not tamed for us, but made for us--
a backdrop of moon to reflect an echo of the sun's light
so it can brighten your shoulders
and hold on to them as you carry us into the sea.
