I drop my clothes and they beat through the air with
A deep
Dark
Thud.

The water turns my toes blue.

I swallow salt like you
Swallowed me,
The vitamin to keep my bones strong
Wrings out my tongue.

The water licks my waist.

I feel my heart finally burst:
The coldness ate me, and my white flag
Rolled in
With the roaring white caps.

The water whispers in my ear.

I have never
Entertained suitors other than you,
My blue cacophony.
At last,
At long last,
My eyes search up and see

The Water.
