Her Night

The rain blurred the lights-
The sodium lights she wished to see
The waves smelled as fragrant as her skin-
She couldn’t touch them with her
bare hands but it left
a stinging memory she wanted to have back-
no horizon
nothing to look back
her eyes gazed upon the wailing waves –
she could have tasted the salty tears
fresh and rejuvenating-
like a brilliant blossom of the morning sky-
it won’t leave you not until it relinquishes
its throne to man
she never had known.
