summer wind
easy
blowing
an early morning sand
quiet empty beach
slow walks a woman
deep in her butterfly eyes
lost
to her sweet salt dreams
she is sixteen, she is fifty
does she remember
that she is beautiful,
in a poet’s eyes
she could live forever
but for her sighs
who carry her away
who carried her away
from concrete dreams
to warm sand and
ocean screams
a woman is born again
every day
if a poet bleeds for her.
