In That Heaven Poem by Kevin Patrick

Half broken puddles
of chlorine water
Dissolve as fragments
Into saline filters
Absorbing and reabsorbing
The molecules of life
Synthesized condensation
To pools of liquid sapphire

In this Heaven
I've arrived

The air regales humidity
A vapor flux of tropic heat
Hovers over a rectangle sea
Lucid and submarine
I jump in the deep end
Creating a stare
Waves palpitate wildly
Like mermaids orchestra

In my Heaven
That I swim


Here I am Poseidon
Pacifier of whirlwinds
Aquatic Sorcerer
Of miniature oceans
Unfolding my wrath
Into insect tsunamis
As my skin becomes one
With the water I echo

In that heaven
I now dissolve
