The Blue Moods of Edna Pontellier

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.
