Every part of me is caressed by a foreign silk.
Salted water dances with my hair, wrapping it around my face as I open my eyes.
Even though my vision is twenty-twenty,
it is obscured by the refracted, twisted, and flirting light,
The waves bend the light like a contortionist.
The sounds reach my ears,
But they too are distorted.
They are nothing more than a muffled garble.
As I close my eyes once more,
choose to unheard all sound,
I reach an absolute peace.
I am in a peaceful limbo.
My body is relaxed as the substance surrounding it leaves it,
levitating.
Seconds pass,
My feeble lungs protest, begging me to unsubmerge myself.
Imagining myself as a mermaid,
I shatter
the glassy sheen above.
