The Salt and the Sea

Sea-kissed salted smiles at dusk

that collided with teeth in clumsy affections

with a faraway gaze of northern lights

encapsulated on another.

Swells of sunflower love and

uncontrollable laughter rescinded,

and began again, erupting despite the assurance

they would get their breath together.

Seagulls that called out to Posideon

oversaw the pruned hands interloped

whose hearts soared far above

and felt that freedom.
