The Ocean Is Salty Enough

Artist Statement

So willful
The water, cold...
Receding,
Leaving me reeling and exposed.

And no matter how firmly I cling to crevices
Rock climb and sand sink
Wish upon a far off star...
I understand that some things are simply stronger than me.

Besides, I always hated tug of war.

So, I surrender.
Sweet suction release...
Tumble me gently out to sea.

Glide me under moon glow
Closed eyes trap tears...
The ocean is salty enough.
