Safe Harbor

In my next life I want to come back as a seashell

I want the ocean to call me over and over again

so I can always remember what it feels like to go home.

Because there is nothing more beautiful than the way

the ashes of all my dead family members have been scattered

into the sea like salt, as if the waves would find a place

for them to rest between the ribs of giant tectonic plates.

Like Noah, I want to be swallowed whole,

so far and so deep that even the North Star will have trouble

pinpointing my location above the water.

In my next life, I want to come back as a seashell

so someone will finally fall in love with my echo.
