Sea Fever

A land locked spirit
with salty blue memories
of oceans flowing in my veins.

Sea swell against warm skin
calm pools settling
deep in my belly
and silken seaweed
touching my heart.

But now
the rip tide strikes
my coral bones
and sharp pebbles
cut into soft skin.
Sea mist clogs my lungs
with its bleak dampness.

And then
the taste of sour sand,
constant throbbing of waves
against my skull,
as I lie motionless
on blue silken sheets,
curtains billowing full sail.
