Poem: Amphitrite

And although I have painted her blue, pink

and purple and various hues of green

I can’t help but believe her colors are left unseen.

She calls me by name

And tugs on my ankles

Teasing me to come forth. 

Such a deity so fair and royal

She encompasses my eyes

And entrances me.

Like a siren.

I follow her as she calls me by my name.

My chest so light

And lungs weighing no more a feather.

My feet creeps the edge

There she is.

And in full faith, I leap.

Suddenly she’s challenged my autonomy.

How cruel.

How exciting.

I’ve given her full control

And trusts she drifts me away safely.

Goodbye Gaia.
