THE SEA TO SEE
THE SEA TO SEE
the sea saw her first
"Oh!" said the sea
"Oh! said she
she chased after a wavelette
the wavelette
chased after her
"Look...me in sea..me in sea!"
sea puts an arm 'round her shoulder
smiles as the camera goes click
sick mummy
she brings her the sea to see
cupped in her tiny hands
the blue house
with the yellow door
patchwork quilt dancing on the line
waves shyly lick
between her toes
as if she's tamed an ocean
an ocean
like a genie let out of a bottle
walking beside my daughter
an ocean
smiling with all
its horizon
some scattered birds
like thoughts
the ocean has thought up
not willing to leave it
she cries to the sea
"Shhhhhhh....!" shushes the sea ". . .shhhhhhh!"
