The woman I loved walked into the sea with
Her black hair, white clothing, a note to me

Small toes against cold rocks
She walked passed men awakened by her beauty

And women doing the wash

Into the sea she went
small toes into the wet sand
into the sea she went
tan legs, neck, nose submerged
and the note from me lost
to the sea.
