Waving Valentine

Watching the death of me
among the surfers
the deft one
 
with the body of a bird
or a frog adapted to
a boy’s lanquidity
 
the body of a pistil
as it enters the hole
of the blue-green bottle
 
toppled on your desk
the tsunami of a petal
and then at the end
 
a little curl turning
on a dime and sinking
with a final salute
 
to whomever’s next
pray
it is another wave
