The sea is like a woman.

The Sea 

by Jack Straw 

. 

This is how the sea moves: 

Hips undulant 

Like a naked woman who is dreaming, 

Who is eager for love 

And despairing. 

The sea is like this: 

Like a woman who has no illusions, 

Who feels stirrings of lust within her. 

The sea moves as a woman who is proud, 

With shoulders squared back, 

Who approaches calmly or angrily. 

This is how the sea moves: 

Against my thigh lapping 

And without shame, 

Or regrets or demands, 

Moving without restraint, 

Natural and free.
