she is the ocean,
giving rise to new moons
and high tides. she
will be the force
to guide you to safety,
to guide you into
the abyss. she
will give you life
and she will
swallow you whole
and while you drown,
while you feel her fingers
pulling the very life
from your skin
you will smile,
you will thank her. because
between going under
and letting go,
she is both destruction
and salvation.
