After swimming ...

I lay stretched out upon a bed of shells - 

My heart was still racing - 

My body remembered the wanton touch of the sea - 

I felt the wind against my skin - 

I tasted salt upon my tongue - 

I heard the waves break upon the ribbed sand - 

I wore no watch - 

There was a pale band around my wrist -
