ocean below drenched in navy blue dye

letting each wave sweep past, one by one

drifting through mellow warmths of July

neatly seated, but noticeably large.

A haunting puzzle, tragedy awaits

to swallow your cries in a fog of blue

eager for murder — and to suffocate

its hush, placid sounds that can heal one’s mind

a gust of wind shuddering up their spine

as they scan the golden waters

and serene dolphins trailing behind.
