Neptune's Folly

[KaliTracy]

watch me,
he says as he slices
through waves.
i catch
glimpses of flesh
through bluegreen
windows of water.

he disappears
sideways through foam.
i try to fix on his big
toe, his smooth sleek thighs,
he somersaults into another wave.

i lose sight
as my feet are pulled
from under me.
for an instant i am before birth,
buoyant yet contained,

until the wave
spits me out onto the shore.

touch me,

i hear,

follow...

but i cannot see.
