3. heatwave

“heatwave”, the third installment of a multi-part nude series, is an expression of self. Self-love, self-compassion, self-obsession, and self-pleasure.

ocean

by tré melvin

i am an ocean.

wide and blue.

public and private.

you are free to watch my waves hit your shore

but you must have permission to test my waters.

you are free to feel my breeze

but you must have permission to sail in my winds.

you are free to sink in the rivers and the lakes that i feed

but you must have permission to swim in them.

unless you are hot enough to evaporate me,

you do not have my consent to dance in my rainfall.
