she bleeds saltwater
her body is a broken boat
the seaweed threatens to strangle her
as each gracing wave sends her
further from the safety of the beach
she grasps at hope but it slips through her fingers
like loose sand in the unforgiving wind
yet she does not fear the coming storm
for she is used to falling quickly
and keeps her head above water every time
and finds her way across the ocean despite it all
