SUBMERSED* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ submersed under cerulean layers of sleep I drift, like plankton, unanchored… GloFish, protists, underwater atolls, sea dragons, shipwrecks moving with the undercurrent of water drenched in sapphire moonlight far above the waves, a single fixed eye, unblinking, whirls with the horizon’s arc a glimmer, an omen, or a target glimpsed disappeared in a moment~ and the undulating, briny sea, the murkiness of an unfamiliar shore, and the beautiful luster of a sleep-darkened sky.
