The sea water over her body
blue, foamy blue, green, blue-green
sparkles where the sunrays touch it.
Her hair or seaweeds
like flagella, like tentacles
are scattered over miles, miles, miles.
Is she breathing water then?
Like she wanted to?
In this state…this limbo like state
its so hard to distinguish
between the sea-song and the death-dirge.
The sea may even sing of life.
Waves crash on the shore
erasing her footprints…
nobody would have identified anyway.
She floats, blue under the blue water.
It is so difficult to choose…
When life is death
And death…
Well, death is death itself.
The booty never has a choice.


Anurima provided me with this beautiful picture. This is just what I had in mind. Thank you Anurima.
