see the shell that i found from the sea
this pink and polished cleft that spirals
into the damp shadow of her darkness

washed abandoned and now reclaimed
still dripping wet in essential waters and
glistening beneath the pubescent dawn

and now i hold you in my hands.

i examine you yes i am a curious man
and i am excited by the thought of
what once occupied your vital space

was it a good life it must have been
if your rosy glow is any sign then
it could only have been exquisite

but now my love you belong to me.

how smooth how wet you are to touch
how my fingers slide so comfortably
into your profound and silken slot

when i hold you to my face and lick
my humid tongue tastes the primitive
residue of a very personal history

as i savor your evaporated salt.

What do you hear. . .

When she is near your ear?

A metaphor excellently presented,

subtle yet powerful.

Not a new comparison, but very effectively presented.

A certain read for all who would be poets.

Beautiful!

Such a wnderful metaphor, Steve, carried throughout the poem so well, and as delicately wrought as the subject of the poem. Oh yes, nice to see a submission from you again. :)
