The sky was dark when we got the call. We rushed to see you I was a hatchling absorbing sunlight for the first time Stumbling Speechless Breathless it just made sense. I passed right there. Hatchling to turtle to dust-- in the breeze, to the sand. I was the shore. The moment I saw you Time stopped as if I were at the bottom of a pool for a second too long The iridescent bulls-eye like waves keeping the air from my lungs. We belonged right there surrounded and safe. I was my esophagus, obsessed with oxygen. Obsessed with you. The ocean released and I could see with hazy vision. Your eyes were closed I knew I would be the first to show you the world.
