Should I

Image by Daniel Austin Hoherd


Should I go into you
your waves
your tide
your ship wrecks
your grit

or
Should I sit on the beach
in a comfortable chair
and pretend
I'v been there

Should I be a tourist
cover my breasts
with shells and
buy trinkets
that emmulate you

or
Should I go into your cold
wear your foam
scrape your salt
off of me
when you evaporate

Will I become
flooded,
soggy,
awashed,

Will I be
drenched
saturated
baptized
renewed

or
Will I dissolve
and drown
and atomize
the ethers

Should I .....
