June 9th
I offered myself to the sea
A toe to start
Shaking knees
Blanching navel
It considered me
rolling my body like a sour candy
I would have let it swallow me whole
It spat me out
I gasped
newborn and aching
The waves brushed my ankles
Whispering
Go on home
I offered myself to the sea
A toe to start
Shaking knees
Blanching navel
It considered me
rolling my body like a sour candy
I would have let it swallow me whole
It spat me out
I gasped
newborn and aching
The waves brushed my ankles
Whispering
Go on home
