FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

at the surface
we play, sand, and
chasing waves
laugh and
talk about anything
familiar,

then we
decide to swim
faraway
from the shore

deep blue
we dive, two of us,
deeper

we touch same
thing sand,
corals, but we
do not talk there
we make
signs

it is the nature
of this depth
inside water
where we cannot
talk

it is very deep
yet it is still the surface
if we begin
to talk about
death
