to dive

though our seas
each have their
share of
tangled kelp,
driftwood,
strange debris,

i’m glad
to jump off the
cliff
to swim
in yours

and i’d
quite welcome
you to come
take
a dip
in mine

.

earth erodes

and perhaps
over time

our shores
will churn
together

kelp
tangling
and
untangling

as we swim
together
