a picture of her

the best image of her
is turned upside-down

it looks out to the sea,
frothing and waving
with the rhythm of change
and the sound of foam

it searches for a stable place
her frame rattles... then shakes
and struggles to reach the shore
holds on to the wave's tip
once again...frame flips

the sea is calm
it fights to be free

her face, upside-down again
and beautifully awake
embraces the turmoil
of the heavy sea

she is you, and you are me
we move through the
choppy waters, we hold hands
we shape each other
with the sand
