“Here lies one whose name was writ in water” - epitaph of John Keats
I feel like aquamarine blue
When it crashes in waves of ashen white bursts
Unto the force of exquisite softness
I surrender myself
Where the riptide majestic pulls me under
Into the deep indigo depths
The falling is lustrous and woven in silk
I am immersed in the churning storm of it
And when flashes of unlaced memories
Convoke my body once more
They are a murmuration of Egret Orchids come alive
To drown me each time
