After the Wave

Peter Dellolio


​​After the wave
​​smashes down your
​​head pops out of the
​​hissing salty shampoo
​​of foamy glistening
​​​      melted
​​    diamond light
​​    surrounds you
​​   a cocktail of lather
​​   of motion coughed out
​​by the wave 
a mouth of
​​glitter flesh
​​reaching up
​​falling forward
spilling its jewelry all around 
​   your
​   blinking
​   eyes.
