Slow breathing tides lap over me:

Their once glorious sighs reduced to mere whispers.

I’m tipsy with the thought

Of my next location –

A destination most desired by a simple seabed dweller.

 

Have I made it? I splutter after

The submersion of sand and success.

I gasp as the water inhales – exposed

And cool, I ponder.

“You’ll do fine; it’s what’s inside that matters!”

With a ghastly grey exterior I disagree.

 

Curious brown eyed creature

Greets me with excitement –

I am raised with gentle hands and

Praised for my size –

Which of course begins an unstoppable

Smile.

“They only want you for one thing!”

My mother’s words ricochet.
