I wish I were going to the ocean today
To put my feet in water too cold for skin
And feel the expanse of breathing out forever
The gray sky going and going,
The spray on my face, telling me things
My heart seems to understand but not my mind,
Inviting me in, wanting me, and the baby inside.
I'd stand on the edge of the S shaped curve
And back away when it surges towards us,
The foam gentle on my feet
and nothing more powerful just yards away and down,
a growling undertow like a mama tiger.
