There Is An Ocean In My Eye

A giant fish just swam across my line of vision,
A grouper it was with sleepy eyes,
My eye is now an aquarium of oceanic beauty,
With squid and octopus,
Hammerheads and swordfish,
Narwhal and sea cucumber,
A bed of kelp waves in the current,
When my eye blinks,
Jellyfish appear and the coral reef
Of rods and cones of the retina
Is home to darting fluorescent seahorses,
Then with my eye closed,
Patterns of multicolored lights show me
The currents of the warm sea,
And I become resilient
To the pounding of the waves.
