Sea, Swallow Me


I stand before an endless enigma.

In absolute anticipation, 

I watch as its waves breathe steadily…

 

Inhale.

 

The foamy abundance retreats, 

Exposing my biding ankles

Who await a ruthless retaliation.

 

But how unfair–

You cannot see through me

The way I see you,

Clear and blue.

 

And so you exhale,

Serene and affectionate,

Effusing your bitter foam 

To embrace my binded body.
