O, Sea
Take your tide away
Far from the cerulean expanse
Where eyes turn dark and bellies turn yellow
To the place it is all drowned
O, Sea
Stop stealing the crustaceans’ limericks

Let there be a deliverance
Draw strength from stretched hands and sever
O, Sea
Follow thy briny commandments
Give in to embrace
Shatter your tides
Leave seashells glazed with rouge and foam born from endeavor
Dither and imbibe; leave nothing for the sirens
O, Sea
Swallow me whole
