In this tidal experience
I am forever afloat,
then moving like canyon rapids.
My mind sits just above
water's break,
and I am
relentless
and I am
fighting
the unshakable strength of the ocean,
and sleeping beneath the ocean floor
lay wakeless memories of me
that rust and erode
comfortably below
my flailing feet.
After each stinging wave
that crushes my chest,
then steals my breath,
I am eternally swept away
by the Undertow.
