when the algae rafts at night wash into the harbor
will he come watch
and his bottle mail is in the cold
green dousing its neck
the boy doesn't wait, he dives
and tries to reach his bottle
the fish can't carry
he sinks into the prison of that force field
realm of water
in there he saw heaven
and that sea turned out to be bottomless
blinded and entangled him
into the world that lies there
there's no worry, no dark
earth's pressure tires and vanishes
such a grand bliss
and he stays in the fairytale with seagrass in his lap
