nature’s imagination

is mightier than words

I follow in its wake

and time drifts like ash

I feel my ribs crack,

split and spin open

saltwater bites into flesh

until all is healed,

buoyant as the sky

my body floats away

my eyes drink in all beauty

sinking into the depth of my veins

and so the vision transforms

as the sea grows old
