Shark alarm went off at PF today. Scared the pants off us, but it was only a small, white tipped reef shark. Happy to get out of the water though 🙂
5th January
‘Underwater’
I’m underwater.
Bobbing, floating.
Swaying with
the kelp
Flowing
with the tide,
the swell.
Wrapped in
muted silence.
Fizzing salt.
Clicks and squeaks.
Popping ears.
My heart beats.
Lungs burning.
Re-surfacing –
Where is everybody?
I’m alone.
Swimming in,
people splashing,
frantic wading,
foaming white water.
Shark alarm!
I must have been
Underwater…
