sea green

the wave sucked me under
and whirled me around
and held me captive
and wouldn't let go
the wave left me fightened
and helpless
and injured
and i vowed not to wade past my ankles again

but now here i am
the sea crashing
and foaming
i'm running to meet it
and diving beneath it
i'm asking to get snatched up
and touseled
and hurt
i'm throwing my heart out
to be tossed by the sea


...why am i doing this, exactly?
