Love Poem: Bikini Browsing

Bikini Browsing

Women can watch the surf roll in
For hours at a time it seems
Their gaze is locked so far afield
Are they looking inside their dreams?

Or do they feel ancestral tugs
Pulling them into the sea
Like seamen hear the Lorelei
Choir of Catastrophe?

Could it be a lunar cycle
Linked to astrology
Which helps them feel as one with earth
And no need at all for me?
