I Heard My Living Sea

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Queen Bed 10:22pm

I Live To Hear The Ocean Breathe

I Live To Feel My Body’s Cells

Circulate, Race, Through My Limbs

I Live To Fulfil A Promise

Made

By My Brain To The Rest Of Me

“Live For The Moment”

“Live”

All Systems Within

Surging

I Felt Literally, Fully

Alive
