Submerged in the empire of your tide Trying to feel unobtrusive, let me saturate Lips filling with the brine You pop sweet oxygen bubbles Chewing gum at its finest Pulling candy from my estuary Blue blood sweeps from between my fingertips Floating face through Eyes open into yours The deepest tide-pools I've ever seen Slipping into the tangle of Your fingers The swivel of refraction Shattered warmth diffused in frosty capped overture Oh to be a native of you Never needing a map or a light or a guide Swallowed without notice Nothing but another wave the endless March of tumbling reverb The only reaction possible to your vocal chords The song of the ocean The simmer of the tide
