surfacing
here i come
surfacing
my face splashing up out of the water
like a fish, or a spear or neptune’s
trident from the deep deep deep
and the sun is warm to the touch
and the sky separates this sun from all other suns
and joins them to all other skies
one thought holding all thoughts
one hand holding all hands
waking from a deep deep sleep
here i come
