Had  a  whale  of  a  time

On  the octopus  slime

Caressed  by  their  salty  fish-fingers ....

Athene has deceived me
She’s made me wait 
in the soothing springs 
The swordfish with fins
pierced my throat
The blood choked me
I fell In the dust
My clothes cluttered 
about me
And darkness covered 
my eyes

Circular and square. And a little glimmer
Of peace -
Or agony.

Cool beneath the waters. A small touch
Of green -
Or sunny coral.

Clanking in mine ears - 
But beauty in these eyes -
Through cornea and through 
…Retina.

A painfully perfect tube is drilled - the long days 
Pierced as if a sharp stare of a swordfish 
Glare. 

And a breath-taking fibre passes through the
Scar…and the blood covered by a glistening 
Price sign....

I am walking on the beach 
When I hear a little screech
When I see the jellyfish in the reef
I am in disbelief 
I look through the deep blue sea
And suddenly I feel free
Looking at the coral 
I see two swordfish in quarrel
I look at the peaceful ocean 
It is now a commotion 
The water is calling me where I stand 
Surrounded by the soft sand
I took a dive in the deep blue sea
And so many creatures swam past me 

The sea is where I long to be....

Solomon’s secretive solemn sassy sensuous servants and songbirds
Solicited serious Somalian solutions simultaneously with South African,
Southeast Asian, South Dakota, and South America.  Squiffy, squirmy
Spiny specialized swordfish sent spiraling soon soared with sticky, 
Silly starfish wearing stiletto heels.  Surfboarders supposedly stepped
Over stormy streams to strip submarginal substances from slippery surfaces.
Sadly some suspected subterfuge....
