I DREAM OF THE SEA

 
Trapped in the American South,

Close in under a root-tangled riverbank,

In cold water up to my neck,

Handfishing, naked and hungry,

I think of the hard surfers 

that hurl their bodies like sharks

Down the thunderous tunnels off Te-a-hu-po‘o

And Pe-a-hi, and Dangerous Banks,

And Cape Fear,  

 

 

 

I think of the salt and sand on your skin.
