“A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can't defuse a bomb. But we are not helpless. We can sing the truth and name the liars.”

Salman Rushdie

Warm sun and cool air
Squeals of savor and surprise
Child's first green apple

Fallen leaves like flames
Crisp colors of a sun flare
A silkworm cocoons

the salt, slowly wringing dry, my soul
… so I swam parallel to the riptides
that once carried me out
to the point of maximum distance from self
Ashore, I landed
sent back to try again
in the land of the living

having smelled the rot of death
within its belly once before,
I would not let it fool me twice consciousness eluded me
and I was pulled under
“for old times’ sake”
but always came the crash
the rogue waves
…decisions to be made
The searing sun
and birds of prey
hovered longer than I could dog-paddle

Ashore, I landed
air bubbles in the waters
the only sign of life:
damage from the breakers,
yet to be assessed
healing will be a lifelong endeavor
the sound of the surf
became my clarion call
self preservation,
my salvation; my grace
through Drake Passage
I ignored the lore of the Orca’s song
