20.3.12
i am breathing coral in deep to paint my insides the color of magic. i am shrugging off the weight of the past and letting it disperse with the pulse of the tide. i am floating and wrapped in seaweed, shedding my clothing of cotton and denim in lieu of freedom and adventure. i am brushing wrinkled fingertips against the shadows of angler-fish and bottle-nose dolphins and despite the distance, i am connected. i am gently awakening and letting the scales fall from my eyes. i am diving into the darkness to where even fear can’t touch me.
