your waterbed feels like the sea
rocking you gently
dreamy on warm waves
your arms falling fingers touching
the sea floor
sleepy beauty you
blowing dream foam bubbles
safe
sinking into
the white opaqueness of timeless
imagining
your mystical twin
a sea kid from Atlantis
in black and silver fish skin jeans
and shirt of sea silk
with black and silver fins
you’re following him at work
measuring human wavelengths
reading the stars like the captains
on the black night ocean
he says try something new
don’t just stand there and wait
for Atlantis to fade
grow black silver shimmering
shark skin jeans
grow big human fins
your mystical twin
turns into a misty crystal
you wake with a start
