Mother I remember
swimming In the rain for days.
My small hands
cutting circles in the water
Playing push and pull
With the waves that
kissed my skin.
I spent many nights laughing
As millions of tiny creatures
Caught fire in the water around me.
I thought they were stars.
Mother I remember
There was once no place
Your voice could not find me.
And yet the water grows quietly.
Silently with pursed lips.
Mother I remember
You once told me that there are
No ghosts in the sea.
