Ocean.

Ocean knows me like she knows her monsters:
Testing me, tasting me.
Nothing is secret.

I try to make scarce- try to float and find my own knowing.
Try to still, try to cease.
But there she is, more present than I could ever be absent:
tonguing
lapping
surrounding
boasting-
"Nothing is secret."

ALANNA,
Definitely realized it.
Couldn't help writing it.
Watched it give birth to itself under my own very fingertips.

Joel,
Thanks.
