Fantastic Voyage



I
dreamed
sinkhole
you fell in
dissolved that river
underground carried you seaward
tidal you bobbed waves
teased the shore
came in
went
out
stinging
tentacles
drove the swimmers out
ate sharks whales visible from space
tac units called in
you were gone
monster
fig-
ment
headlines
turned their backs
you strode from the surf
wore only water and a smile.
