Haibun - Venus

Venus

Through the seafoam you found me,
ground me into swirls of sand as
the evening star turned morning.

I sit by the shore, lost in memory.

The sea reaches out to me in waves
as I wonder if a single grain in the
stretch of sand we made love on remains.

venus --
a pearl in the blue
half-shell of heaven
