His Love Just Washed Away

she grew up in warm warm water
helps her face look flush and full
running laps all around
the daughter's head keeps spinning like a spiral shell
and there she goes goes goes
there she goes into the water
swimming with the seals and weeds
from the trees drops the man who bought her love
with clothes and promises of make believe believe believe
he found her body on the seashore
as he walked his early morning stroll
clothes were gone
body breathed no more
dried by the sun
he took her in his arms arms arms
washed away
