sand and you

the barest contrast
of sand and skin

I can’t say
where it stops
and you begin

do you? does it?
shimmers of heat
from sand and you

the same golden
warmth mounding
beneath my hands

yes, this is how...

you’re softer

I like these shadings
of light...

Well done, Sir.  Puts me in mind of one of my favorite poets.

...though sometimes they can slip thru your fingers...

...quicker than the sand...

Very good poem, Ed. It has
a tenderness about it.
