Oceanica
Ellis Ludwig-Leone
Up the spine into the mind
We disappear
Unwind behind the eyes
We’re alone here
Primrose and sandy clothes
The water knows
White bones beside the foam
And down we go
Sea change into pain but also something rich and strange
Quiet ride beneath the tide
Breathe it all in
Spears and knives and urchin spines
We won’t feel a thing
Sea change into pain but also something rich and strange
Bleached love by the tide
Bathe our bodies in the brine
Sink in like a ship
Bleached love now we slide
Out of body, out of mind
Into the abyss
Long gone
