Will I set it free?
To wander monsoon streets
Slip into fever dreams
Strap to airplane seats
Will I loosen from its nest
Inside of me?

To fly above swirling schools 
Of fish perused 
By cephalopods and seals?

Do I secure it soundly within 
Cabin walls to sway
In tempestuous swells
Safely in your arms?

Do I unleash this love of mine
Deep-seated divine
Nestled in safe hands 
Across unending oceans?

Holding untethered body
In its wake.

Forever residing in waves
That which joins all lands
Far and wide
Joints, muscles and sinew
Within us too.
