Roar through me, complete me, and devour my heart!
Make my life the wholeness of a living entity,
And spread me across the seas of protection.
Upon the cradle of the ocean is my pedigree; procedures
Of clay swirling, mixing with the algae, it is a chemistry,
The essence of beginnings and endings―in this interaction
I arrive at the end and the beginning of the deposits
Of life. The gunk of you creates in me a response,
A nudge, a combination here, and there I stand
Upon the shore and see the reflection of me in you.
Flow my blood, beat my heart, and breathe my lungs!
Tell me my story over-and-over until I comprehend.
