Turns and U-turns


I love how beautiful she is
while she survives
wearing her turns and u-turns on her skin;
exposed    for   all    to     see
       rippling in wavy lines
       swirling with translucent strides.
They drip.      from her arms.
They dangle.     in the sun.
They swim.    like peals.
and when she is hungry
she swallows them whole
and is full.
