The words fan on her palm
a delta of a fine silt of poems,
seeking the deep of an ocean.

In a saline dissolution of limbs, 
an alluvium of spent syllables
muddy water in turbid hours,

to lace the sea floor in real
sentiment seeking safe passage 
to the pulse of a watery earth,

where in the piscean gleam of  
dissolved voices, is the treble
of having learned how to touch.
