The way that he mistakes me
Forgets me in the tide
Then moves me fresh and floating
Kicking fast along my side
Out we go so far until he stops and turns for me
(Excited that my fear will elevate his gaiety)
But, unknowing of the moment
In the swim within the rip
When the bosom\u2019s bend upon the ribs
Began my sweet descent<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am nowhere he will find me
I am king of him at once
I\u2019m the capping of the waves
I\u2019m the pulsing of the conch
He locks his eyes upon the shore
And lessens in the sea- his shadow moves in awkward ways
Above and gone to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
