The Ecphorizer

Poem
Andrea Fish

Issue #24 (August 1983)
Our hips meet with the uneven rhythm of the sea -
bounding forward and retreating -
I meet you
just-past-the-crest
of your thrust,
travel with you a second
then ebb away
curving and arching to accent the motion;
but, with the sea's syncopation,
still, in the mirror,
our smooth sand-colored curves
are shadowed like desert dunes;
our love, as unlikely as ocean in desert... 

Poetess of many passions Andrea Fish has been observed flipping her frisky fins at a number of Bay Area swimming pools recently.
