Live the waves
Let the water undulate
And cascade against your skin
With your body
Float then dip
Then dive right in
Salty water on tongues
The fizz of first love
Seaweed entangling the toes
Like adolescent dreams that
Won’t let go of the person you’ve grown into
But the fish munch on, bit by bit
And with patience, your feet flutter to freedom
(Take it in)
Your head bobbing up and down
YES. YES. YES.
Intuition leading you to the horizon
Where you catch his dilated pupils in prayer
They were pools of oceans
Dreaming of a sea
