sun soaks into the hollows of my other half

i am wearing water

and you are clean

sand blasted, ocean hushed

rivulets of awareness

trickle down

we are surfacing, telling tales

breathless child rambling oh let me tell you this but it reminds me of that and

do you recall when this over there it happened it happened it happened again but

different it’s beautiful you know and look look look what you did and look what i’m

doing can you do this you can i did you did let’s do this thing let’s

make it happen your thing is a great thing my thing i’m thinking i’m just gonna do it and let me

tell you advise how it feels it’s lovely it’s incredible it’s exciting

and it’s time for me to go you go too we have things to do

let’s dive back under and evolve along with

the life down there.

sonar.

we cleave and we are clear

you submerge, watery wave

just me in this sun soaking

into the hollows of my other half

such small hands

grip the steering wheel

deep breath pulse inhale

hold breath, precipice

head first

body follows

splash
