I am addicted to you, Salty
Every time you leave me
First,
with a grain of salt melting on my tongue
Next,
sparkling in my hair
Finally,
you scatter all about me,
Diamonds burning in the sun
I see in your reflection.
I press against your pebbly skin
Waiting to be flooded over again
Come again wave,
I am not afraid
And similar to horse,
I find my minerals in you
You still persist,
You come back in every tear
Prickling, healing, kissing, killing
Every skin cell.
I am addicted to you, Salty.
note* to clarify the line about the horse, I know that since horses cannot get salts from their regular food, they have to lick salt separately to get all the necessary minerals.
Your poem made me smile. Salty is awesome.
