For The Goddess Of Life by Anonymous




long distance swimmer

you abandon your vessel without taking a breath

transforming as you slip in to the bottle glass

you become a many armed goddess

a mythical sea creature

fins flashing gold in the water

you lift mirrors and little trays of offerings

a bird flies from your hand

you watch unconcerned as your boat melts in to the horizon

you don't think of drinking water and life preservers

instead you look to the other solitary sailors

dotting the water like tiny floating candles

they are curled up in the bows, clutching their buoys

you circle and sing your songs

fearless

yet knowing that you too may drown
