The pulses of our morphing
desire are beat out against
the musk that
emanates from the blooming
rhythms of the sensuality
in his voice, as an oar plunges
into the sea,
making circumferences
with the ripples of a
galaxy of stars,
cosmic dust, and planets spinning
out across the darkened
surface of its limpid
liquid universe.
