on the day you were born you wrestled your body—
 
into a fully sealed, fully taped 6/5 wetsuit, then shouldered into an open-circuit

scuba, nodded to the semicircle of friends (also in suits & scuba sets),

and held your breath out of habit as you slipped the ocean’s surface and began to descend.

on the way down you listened to the people you love

say satellite, supernova, cluster. all you heard was home. 

you breathed and breathed and breathed, and the holy-holy around you grew thick with itself.

blinking into the night sea, you felt
the bite

tabs of your mouthpiece and remembered: suck air, grand jeté, buoy up, repeat.

meanwhile: her charcoal canal sucked at your crown. for the first time you felt

fear, tasted it in the cove of your mouth.  

through the pelvic inlet of her sweating wishbone

hips you slipped. her skeletal system unhinged and she swore

never again—until the sight of your vernix, that waxen varnish of wet skin slough,
 
the moat surrounding the castle of your body

I am whatever you say I am...

I gave this to my wife this morning.
Told her to read it.
That experience.
Is beautiful to me.
The first time someone stumbles through new words.

Like learning to swim
Like being reborn

If someone you know is willing
To let you capture that first moment on camera
For anything we write
Feel free to post it on /treattime 
That is surely a treat to 
Share
With the world
So we can begin 
To understand
How hard communication
Really is

the letters—building blocks—comprise the words. words matter = letters matter. 😃 cheers to K!
