Salty

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.
