Poem-A-Day #4

    

 

Since Drowning

 

I have grown

fins & a tail.

My gills pulse

with the rhythm

of waves.

 

I swim with

thousands. My body

flashes in concert

with symphonies

of fishes.

 

I see

with my voice.

I maneuver through

labyrinths

of echoes.

 

I explore the refuse

of many lost

civilizations.

I have tasted

their heroes.

 

In the orca’s eye

I see my death.
