to The Ocean

swallow me up into your fearsome, roaring billows

submerge me in your bitter waters

i will succumb to your force of gravity

swirling around in your sea like a grain of salt

spit me out onto your rugged shore

slip under my still and weary body

suffocate me in foams and i will imagine them as clouds

surge over me during your high tides

and leave me dry during your lows
