Suspension

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
