The Man Who Hates the Sea

The Man Who Hates the Sea 

one thing about you I know

for sure

is that you hate the sea with

sun and beach without a single

shadow to keep you in warm

but when the summer came

you took me there

wearing sun

glasses and wise eyes behind them

white-skinned as sand in the winter

frantic

and quiet was your love

I heard that you live by the sea

now with a girl who breathes

with wind and waves

so you must have fallen in love 

with everything you hate

again.
