I.
Having rarely been
to the sea, I am surprised
to be fine flotsam.
II.
Floating the surface,
light and air bubbles, I learn
underwater breath.
III.
The sirens appear!
Breathing in water; go deep.
Into the darkest.
IV.
The world needs me back.
The songs of the world above,
calling to surface.
V.
Through the darkness, I
bound back towards the air, light.
Every shade: green.
VI.
The return is long.
Barely fitting this small sea,
I am left floating.
