The hem of her skirt is dampened;
It clings to her legs
As the water creeps ever higher.
Without warning, the waves;
Envious and enraged
Ambush the monolithic lovers
Who stand knee-deep- No-
Waist-deep in the icy foam.
But nothing shakes
The steadfast couple.
The ocean begins to froth with rage
And finally the sky
Turns a furious purple
As it breaks and splits and tears
Exposing deep gouges of white light.
The sea shakes and
The beach trembles in fear
As blasts of jealous roaring
Penetrate the heavy and covetous air.
But the pair remain stonelike;
Unmoving in the hateful water
That swirls monitorily
Around their necks.
The rain attacks from all angles;
Freezing as it cascades
In vicious succession
From the rips in the sky-
It strikes hard, threatens
To pierce through them
The way it slashes through the ocean.
But even still,
As the waves splash furiously
Around thier mouths,
Their noses, their eyes
She and He remain
Firmly anchored in the hostile tide. |
