i am so far from the shore

throw me no life vest

i'm not drowning 

my lungs are fine.

i am breathing for the first time

like i have so many times before.

the salt in the air is the salt in the sea 

is the salt in the earth is the salt in me

so please let this vessel go down.

i am taking on water

i am so far from the shore.

i am giving my flesh to your body

ocean open wide once more.

tell me no tall tales

im not clowning

your walls are down.

i am feeling for the first time,

my way in is my way out.

"ocean open wide" - hoots and hellmouth
