I want to rinse my tears away and yet be engulfed by them all

To simply dissolve in tidal rhythm as each risen wave falls

To take hold of seaweed reins, sink below as ocean steeds pull

To hear the notes of a siren song and surrender to its call

But I’m glazed in golden resin, flammable, but insoluble

Author’s Note: This piece was written for Judey Kalchik’s Anagram Challenge. Check out the criteria and other entries linked below.
