Change Your Mind

Plasticity

I see you on a salt shelf
surrounded by mountains
surrounded by sea
your breath heavy, thick
your speech gurgling

Your hands held high
your braided hair, the only thing holding
& down from unclimbable cliffs
a darkness seeps in on everything

I morse code, can you turn
can you change your orientation
can you jump from greenish rock to greenish rock
over unctuous pools
& navigate tiny gaps (in teeth filled reefs) to freedom
