Resurface Poem by RIC BASTASA

Resurface



this could be the word of the
day for our conversation
you check from time to time if
i am still around
because as you said
you do not like monologues

for all you know i was into something
deep
like i am a turtle lost in the foams
and swallowed by the mouths
of the sea waves

and because you hate monologues
of course i have to use your word

i resurface.

But that is not what i really mean,
there are ghost swimmers in my being
those naked fairies
or they call it furies
in the blood of my veins like
viruses
and when i begin to think
seriously like i am about to die
in a minute
they do what i do when you feel
that you are alone

always they resurface
saying
that it is not good for me to go
because i still owe
them a lot

whatever is that
my mouth is dead.
