When
the
tide
recedes
eelgrass
holds
the
shape
of
water
.
And
so
it
is
with
you
.
Your
words
are
liquid
weight
.
I
am
a
sharp
verdancy,
fine
enough
to
cut
through
skin
.
When
your
voice
moves
over
me
my
spine
becomes
supple.
I
bow
to
everything
love
is
.
We
are
always
what
we
are
and
nothing
more
but
in
the
eddies
formed
between
us
sand
shifts
until
we
build
a
shore
wide
enough
to
walk
on
.
