I want to leave this shell behind
as a crustacean might, finding it to be
too small, too
confining,
and leave it in order to search for new homes
unhindered.

I want to leave this, and take
nothing but the waves to clothe me,
to crash against them feverishly as I
head out to sea
with the other mammals,
back to our primordial birthing place,
to feel the warm nurture
of the lifeblood of the world.

I want to face a horizon
undaunted,
to take nothing but the reflection of the sky
and the deep caress of the abyss.

I want to give myself over to be held
in the embrace of a circle
that includes
everything.

I wanted to write a poem, so these are the lines that happened.

I admit I was influenced by this photo from my recent trip to California ([link] and probably [link] as well).

Haha, thanks! I'm way excited to take a poetry class next semester. That should produce more work, and hopefully improved work too!

I totally know you've told me already which class it is you're taking, but is it Intermediate Poetry? Or something else?

Yup, Intermediate. I would say that your memory is pretty accurate there.
