Tidal
this littoral transition
from girl
to young woman
to wife
to mother
to what?
not knowing the splash
zone from the marine
will I sink?
the water
above my head
barnacles encrust
my fringes
I await
moon's pull
dream of ocean
troughs
and crests
Yeah, definitely experiencing some mood swings today. On the one hand it's good – when I took my walk I got ideas for 2-3 stories and the starts of several poems – on the other, well, let's just say I'm glad I didn't have to try to explain my tears to anyone. Such is life. My husband recommended I listen to this. Haven't had time yet. Too busy rising and falling.
