Oceana
Does the ocean floor feel like I do?
Hemispheres of pregnant stomach,
softly undulating, or still.
Turbulence under my skin.
My daughter’s dreams ripple like waves
under a clear sky.
In this vast roundness,
the unknowable spins.
What does the ocean floor think,
when it is invisibly redrawn
by surging seas?
Hemispheres of pregnant stomach,
softly undulating, or still.
Turbulence under my skin.
My daughter’s dreams ripple like waves
under a clear sky.
In this vast roundness,
the unknowable spins.
What does the ocean floor think,
when it is invisibly redrawn
by surging seas?
