Salt Strange Salt Sea Change

Salt Strange Salt Sea Change

White sizzling cloud of burning dry water flavor

Ye who preserves, protects, and slays us, piece by piece and cell by cell

The body succumbs to decay from the moment of birth

For birth initiates death

Ye maker of thirst and the cycles of polar energy

Balance of within and without

Ye have comrade ions

Component of battery-pump-motor of every little body within the Body

Ye endlessly separate and recombine changing form whether within or without

Ye hide unseen in moisture and the sea

Ye fence in mages

Ye anion generator under heat

Cleanser of parasitic bugs come to make new again

Clear the channels of sludge and debris

Ye are the Body and the keeper of the body

Ye are delicate and soothing yet dangerous and fickle

For I am not only me but “boo”

These are the bacteria that surround me and live among and within me

Ye regulate them and trim them from overpower

So I am only apparent, as one among many, dreaming that I am

Death takes us to invisible realms as the ocean takes you

But we can bring you back out with the Sun

What Sun can precipitate us?

They say there may be a Sun beyond the Sun that may be a harvester of souls

But no one Knows.

We paint pictures of unknown lands

And confound memory with imagination

Reality becomes lost in wandering moments

The sea may become trapped by earth and fill as its boundaries erode

Then the salt desert may be born as the sea dies

For ye are in the sea but is the sea in you?

May ye be medicinal for the dosage makes the poison

May we not crave to drink the ocean

For such fools are doomed to fail
