     Ocean blood of my body,
     white foaming bubbles finger daylight shorelines.
     Water flows indigo blue, a night sky mirror
 
                                                                                                       __adrift.
 
     Offerings of flour and honey
     honour gamboling Oceanids.
     Daredevil dive
     Black void, embryonic cradle,
     hold her close, as lungs breathe life.
     Sea organisms thrive in birthing beds below.
     Complete with summer’s water coverlet
     A diamond galaxy, reflect a lion sun above.
 
     Inevitable birthright of change
                Remember,
                imagine,
                believe.
     Nourish tomorrows juicy with life,
     desperate angry days in ruin,
     blind barbarism,
     dead ebb.
 
     A world renewed surfaces.
     Rebirthed vessel afloat, intact
     Rising currents
     Tender world encircles compassion.
