If I am to be a fish
You are the water I breathe.
I hear the sound of water.
I lay my body down in the water
And listen carefully.
Then
If I do that
I can hear my heartbeat soaring like a flying fish
The sound of sea foam fizzling away
And the sound of the waves crashing onto rocks
If I listen closely to these sounds
I can faintly hear
The whispering of the ocean.
“You were born to be a fish.”
