Saltwater Mouth

Saltwater mouth, licklapping rocks.

Lapis lazuli, cerulean, indigo.

Aegean colours shifting, rippling,

shimmering in our eyes.

White thassian marble, boulders gleam and glint.

With tightened snorkels we dive through

Poseidon's turquoise realm.

Schools of fish glide through the deep,

floating through our minds.

Foamy lips kissing rocks.

Time lengthens, space widens,

and cares are washed to sea.
