ocean water
the ocean pushes back
alive and vigorous
the heritage of habitat
leans against expectation
muscles its due respect
without regard
without warning
without reorienting the ones
with swimming pool perspectives
limitations of consistent temperatures
and painted cement walls
the ocean rumbles its sovereignty
full weight of freedom on my
skin.
True, we are not match for the ocean. We tend to forget that. I just read that we only know about 1/3 of the organisms that live in the ocean. The others are still unknown.
ReplyDeleteIt also makes you shudder a bit about what else can be down there.
