Ocean Life

An aquatic poem.

Emma Briggs

--

I dive in the sea
away from TV
to escape the sharks
who want to consume me
to be in currents
which pull me out
then deliver me in
to bring to my mind
that life is a cycle
a washing machine
always tumbling
downside up
spinning around
where’s the seabed?
