The turquoise sea
stares glassily
up toward my little body
embracing the waves
romantically.

I polish those faces
of swirling blue power
cutting back clean
and evenly.
I bottom turn and backslide
to lovingly polish the other side.

The foam builds playfully
then dissipates.
All the while
we're sharing smiles.
