I fall up
You fall in
No plummet
No nosedive
becomes an epic.
We did: water rising to meet sky,
propelling us through the blues,
each wave reaching a different stretch of sand,
some ill-timed rides tumbling us into the wave, pounded into
the silty bottom, salt stinging airways invaded by turbulence,
Buoyancy surfacing, finding the place where the tide pulls
just right, rising again, taking flight.
Gods for a moment.
