i dream of raincoats,
umbrellas and rubber boots;
the sea is risen
and she flies about
unhinged
she flows unlimited
whipping the air
dissipating her body
flowing like scattered blood
drops of rain
constant
incessant
relentless
i need refuge from this sorrow
this skin is only so thick
already too salt-ridden;
i need protection
from this advancing sea
this sky descended
this land awash-
becoming the sea itself...
there is no difference,
merely her density
-stretched
to encompass
to fulfill the promise of air
with her suspended tears
last night i dreamed of raincoats
lying in a muddy puddle
alas, i almost forgot
this warrior needs a shield
not a shiny coat of armor
but a rubber raincoat,
muddied and broken in
