Poem 2 Part 2 with my third hand i reach out to grab the last thread of its ragged dress, drifting higher i catch a glimpse then turn away to face the sea it laps the shore and as i rest the cool cool water tempts my toes to slip silently closer into its depths as i watched the swirl of clouds ,a film came over me and changed my view down, down ,down i see my hair move slowly across my face, my hands, my body suspended freely, sinking, the sea engulfs me; she wraps her arms and legs around my waist and pulls me further away from my lovely bright blue sky. i wave goodbye and blow it all a kiss. she whispers in my ear "im lonely me baba, you sing to me each night under the moon and stars and although i know you cannot if i embrace you, i long so much to cradle you like you were my own, i wish that i could shed a tear but that is all that i am; all that i can do is give or take. i am loved and hated by all me babes except for you you love me true ." " i do i love all that you are my sweet, sweet sea. i've wanted to hold you too, to be held by you but you'll wait each night to hear me sing and smooth your back with skimming stones and i will not come. i'll be beneath your waves only miming what few words i can recall" we remained suspended for a while she stroked my hair back from my eyes and as she did i saw no fine yellow mass but thick and dark with streaks of red and brown my hands were blue and green and grey my body naked, striped of all my clothes, i laugh out loud and as i do my air escapes in huge bubbles which race to reach the surface as i watch my last breath disappear , break through her plain and join its friends before i get caught in her undertow i unwrap her cool, cosy, clasp and pull against her using her strength to shoot me up towards the light , i kick and paddle and burst into the open air savouring its salty taste. i look below, then swim to shore.
