Enslaved to dive head first into your waters
Waterboarded.
Oh tidal blues,
I never gave you consent
And for what?
To surf another life lesson?
Riding your surface tensions I learned to float
Half risen , slightly sunk
Not to submerse, not to elevate
Neither breaching into the sea or to fly above
But learning just to
Be.
Synesthesia colors and shapes inspired by Lorde, “David”.
