II.

Swimming in the heavens of

my own seawater. The fish of

my own belly. God’s laughter like

sun drops. Warm raindrops like

love. Being—and being within—

on the ground, kiss,

kiss,

kiss.

Thank you God for you.

Thank you God for me.

Thank you God for all you have given,

and for all you have taken.
