the sea went missing

way before Moses,

~evaporated~

I supposes,

returning to

a cloudy sky–

–leaving desert

high & dry,

compelling

would-be

could-be

swimmers,

surfers

waders

skinny

dippers,

skiers

sailors

cruise ship

skippers,

to wait for

rainfall

tied in bow-ses,

ahead

of skimmin’

l’eau

with toe-ses.
