I love the oceans and seas
but I never learnt how to swim;
I'm standing ankle-deep
in the flood of your eyes.

I've learnt to breathe water
for when you cry,
and your waves
pull me under.
And I won't be afraid,
even when the saltwater
burns into my lungs
like a thousand words
you wanted to say
and never could
in this storm of fury
and thunder.
