Salt, Water, Breath

This hypnotic potion
a bottle of oceans
on necks which still sting
from the salt of the sea
is pulling me under
is raging like thunder
is threatening to pull
the whole world over me
I'm feeling quite queasy
It's suddenly easy 
to breathe underwater 
and dive
A potion from oceans
a stir, a commotion
and suddenly I am
aware I'm alive.
