Holly Tomas the sea

This is my time
...hurry now...hurry
watch as my feet...dissolve
...into the sand
my mouth forced open
to a soundless cry
from womb to woman
in a seamless lie
I swallow hard
to quell my shame
and now and your arms are reaching for me.
..again
to take me back...to the sea
...ahh the sea...
closer now...closer
