I drop my clothes and they beat through the air with
A deep
Dark
Thud.
The water turns my toes blue.
I swallow salt like you
Swallowed me,
The vitamin to keep my bones strong
Wrings out my tongue.
The water licks my waist.
I feel my heart finally burst:
The coldness ate me, and my white flag
Rolled in
With the roaring white caps.
The water whispers in my ear.
I have never
Entertained suitors other than you,
My blue cacophony.
At last,
At long last,
My eyes search up and see
The Water.
