BLUE BABE

Billowing silk wiggled

through a chilled beach

The soles of their feet

were gripped by wet sand

and minerals

that are said to cure

or prevent

The silk was a piercing blue

a metallic kiss to the eye

It was the new gold,

this blue;

and it made his lover’s eyes glow

when he watched it move

across his body,

and through the winded beach

Black swarmed by a metallic blue

His lover zoomed in,

inching toward him,

dropping his camera

pausing the shoot

He went in for an embrace

and the silk had pulled him in

wrapped around the both of them

by its loose bottom

Their love was then…seamless

All the extra fabric was a good call
