re birthing

when i crave for you most

i find myself at sea

this time

i’m going in knee deep naked exposed to
skin

skin moistening into the sea bed like moss

i am now a sea shell

empty dry

sand particles lodged between my toes i sink i go down with purpose


salt

seeps through the open wounds causing a sharp pain

stinging



i find myself at sea and this time

i run in naked a second christening

this time i hold my breath long enough


i let the sea seep through my ears nose my cavities

this time i’m going in
this time when i crave for you

i crave for the sea in fact i crave for god i crave to belong in fact

this time i’m going in and


if i come out clean like the mouth of a cat

i will come out with my hair dripping with sea my lips salty i will be full of the sea

i will be filled to the brim with water


i will never come out of it the same i’m


going in


i seek for you but you are another face of god

i need him like this sea needs her moon

stretch
