swim
through the dim
abyss of the ocean's blue water
to become a daughter
of the violent and quiet sea.
dive
through cold knives
as your body submits to the waves,
you must let yourself cave
to the water's hypnotic sway.
trade,
for green jade
scales to cover your ivory legs.
no longer will your wade
in the shoreline's shallow waters.
dance
with the chance
of happiness running through your mind
and you will learn, in time,
in order to swim you must drown.
