Blue Whales Beneath an Island

I wrote in the sand tonight
and swam with the breath of the ocean
falling from my throat
sent off a paper wish to see
my shoes swallowed
by a mouthful
and found them safe and sound
I wrote in the sand tonight
cursive prayers
to the touch
sealed in grains
sound to the touch
of my finger...
and by the end
I said Thank you
lying on a dry dolphin
while two heads pass
laughing about a story
of a billionaire who
fell off a cliff riding his segway
and by the end
I leave laughing
how I follow the big blue whales...
