Swim the Sea Inside [Poem]

dive again

            so to swim

                        the sea inside

            your DNA

                        – serpentine   :

            a nebula spiral

                        submerged in seaweed

ancient ritual

            create your own        oasis

                                                            in the flood

drink   yellow bubbles

                        from the river

                                                Lethe

                                                Mnemosyne

            access the fifth dimension

                                                            -al

world

            fluid motion

                                    through your body

                        forcing you open

                                                            and you change

            & synchronicity         roars

                                    g/listen/ing

                                                            cell membranes

                                                diffuse the light

                        silvery splashes

                                                of luminescence

                                    break the current

                                                cleft     the silence

                        swallow

                                    throbs of words

                                                            with water
