Silk and salt

The feel of water on your skin is joy.

The water’s ideal salt concentration

cleanses, without being abrasive, so

each pore thoroughly knows the water’s silk.

Silk of the earth and smooth as salt, crystals

and fabric from the undiscovered deep.

Drops of sea and light cool you in secret.

The feel of water on your skin is joy.

Stephen Paul Wren
