SPLASH

Feeling empty as a coelenterate

Primal emptiness

But for the first time

Without the primal fears

I’ve been an amoeba

This is an advancement

Maybe one day I’ll wash ashore

An oddity with bulging eyes

A dead giant squid

Children building castles

In the sand

Will write me an epitaph

“Here lie Squidward’s Hopes and Dreams”

Perhaps a stingray I’ll be

Anemones will wilt in my dark shadow

Clown fish will dart away

Maybe I’ll be that clownfish

And befriend a mermaid

And see she does not turn to foam

Maybe I’ll rise from the ocean foam

A pearl of a woman
