In the dripping light of morning
I saw the sea attack the shore
lapping, loving, longing,
coaxing her for more
The woman dipped her foot in
The man he cleared his throat
And with a simple motion
He pushed & launched the boat
For hours they drifted aimless
towards the crease of sea and sky
I watched them growing smaller
I thought I heard a cry.
And as the sun was setting
cresting through the foam
I saw the boat returning
with just the man alone.
