Their toes grip
cloud-kissed cliffs
until the wind chants their names
and the sea swirls in nosegay
They
dive
Zero points for form--
aim is what matters,
each to her tributary,
one lifestream per soul
They
land
onto a red carpet
where the grass is always greener,
idling for a moment
till two hands lift them home
