The whale swallowed us whole
after he looked at us
with one big round eye (bulbous)
(soft) (blue)
mouth opened wide

The waves crashed against him
creating a maelstrom outside our walls
but within was the tender
rocking of ourselves

Do we build a life here in this whale?
Amongst the sea and the krill
where I love you, you love me

Awoken from the dream
the Sun streams into my room
Awakened from our dream
my moon, I look ahead
