I can feel the moon’s gravitational beams like a tide and toe.
The earth quakes beneath my toes and it almost feel electrifying
Only this time I’m not defying gravity
The center of balance hold still and my gaze drops
The air feels like the radio frequencies static
Immobilized by my new fear of heights
A parachute opens and I’m hoisted into the air
The temperatures of the water numbs
Brisk lashes of wisping wind
The rain stinging
Couldn’t I have chosen a better day to rip the chord and descend into the ocean
The whispering wind wisps past me
I can hear the songs of the sirens as the water emulsifies me
The coast is twenty seven miles away now
Nothing but air and water for miles in all directions
I’m out here beyond the red algae
Red sky at night sailor’s delight
Red sky at morning a sailor’s warning
I can’t see at all as the rain falls
I dive as I feel the air filled in my lungs chelate
A drop in the ocean
Like the mermaid that dropped her purse is behind this
I’m swimming toward shore and the seaweed seeds
Mercury’s counter pull does not have me tred the surface
Which leads me to believe the depths only surface in the night
When the moon aligns with the terrestrial
Physically and mentally prepared
The power vested in me with my tools
Cans
The light wand
Mesmerized gps coordinate
An inflatable boat that descended from the chopper
Getting narced Cyanide cyanocobalamin
Cyanobacteria needs cans for seed samples
My new found fear now raging with adrenaline
