Giggles and winks at romantic excess 

The mountains seem like overkill yes

I’d said with a grin that shone my delight 

And fastened my thighs steel clam-snap tight, 

 

The still of his stare, blue-blazing and prised 

By billows of sun emulsified 

In bright, surf-swept skies and slick seas of cloud,

 

Long salted kisses, wet noses bowed, 

 

Collateral passion swells at my brow 

Ardour’s choke from the night before now, 

 

The rise at the crest of his trunks breaking waves

My dignity sunk to a sandy grave..
