Sea of Being

by

Katherine Tildes

As I was walking back from uptown
I felt small in my coat
like a child in her daddy's clothes
I wanted to shrug it off
feel the release of my
restrictive skin
I'd like to shed it all off
this tired shell of myself
Start anew with
new eyes
new smile
new hair
new persona inhabiting my self

And then I would be free
a floating soul in the sea
of light and air
sea of being

Free of this self
this person inside that
is not happy outside
This structure of smiling eyes
and grinning teeth
that lies to satisfy
itself and others
Free of this angst

I sit here twitching in my skin
wiggling and wriggling
trying to break out
Escape
to the sea
and swim and thrash about
happily
