Bahamas

Terra Wolfe


Schools of iridescent purple fish

                         slip through the seas

                                                 that slide down my face.

Surface tension

                         locks the liquid

                                                 It can’t flow

I swim the canyons where coral and sea shadows

                         beckon me

                                                 slippery and lost

to glide

                         like a great triggerfish

                                                           into the forever blue.

Until that crystal thread

                                                 that connects me to memory

                                                               hums a siren song

                                                                                               

 beckoning

toward prickly solid matter.

I float in curious ponds

                                    that fill and change and slide.

In this thin liquid                                                                              

                         await the tide.

                                                                         away.
