I am
a light, guided by ancestry,
a jellyfish in the sea.
Tentacles may sting in a stance of defense,
but, mainly, I float,
a diaphragm of peace
counting the waves
and the beads of sand
as they peak –
I am translucent.
My organs reside
as my ancestors mount
the learning that widens
the bell
ringing the swell
that is me,
myself,
Eye!
