Where the Sea Grasses Grow

put on a snorkel and mask and some fins

swim out past the beach breakers at the shores

and then turn in the direction of the sea caves

out there is where the sea grasses grow

once you find a spot in the grasses that you like

float face down and breathe and let the ocean’s

rhythms rock you and sway you to and fro, it’s

her gift to you, like being in a baby carriage
