Tonight I Will Count Dolphins

Tonight I will count dolphins
Hemming the edge of the ocean two by two
With a running stitch
Playful, friendly, unreachable
We dive clumsily into the brisk waves
Our stories unfolded on the beach
Making a grey speck in the fog filled distance
Later we shiver in the car together
You have to be warm enough to shiver
In the dark we find each other
Two strange mammals on the edge of the land
So much heat
