the glue of influence
influxes
a tidal wish in
wash out
of tars old salts
and feather merchants
hawking wares amid the kelp beds

lay me down deep
but not to sleep

black winged flapping
a school of sea skates
slides by

a squid hid
in the rocks
beckons tentaculate
for me to come
closer
come closer

wish wash past
I am current carried
fast a way

in the depths but not
drowning
