I Am Ocean

A.J. Huffman

a shimmering body you rush
into like a child born in the desert.
I am calm
on the surface, inviting.
My voice relaxes, calls you
again and again, but I am full
of depths and threats.
My shadows have hidden
teeth, claws. You
wade into my embrace
too quickly. I erupt,
waving three feet over your head,
all the while still
pulling your further from shore.
