riptide
He wanted to go deep
my anxiety soared
He wanted to follow the ball
past the breakers
He started
We all
inhaled
When his head
was the size of a
spot in the eye
And then no more
the cries began
the agonies
for the boy
who would not stop
until the sea ate him whole
2 days later
the sea
spat him out
and we
All the ones who still bleed
looked no more
The sea is the same.
