Hatching Day
Cramped, dark, claustrophobic.
Panic sets in, must find a way out.
A crack! Push through, widen, make more!
Sand rushes in, go against the flow, finda a way out.
A breath of sweet, salty air.
Moonlight reflections, follow the light,
swimming through soft sand to the sea.
Waves breaking, lifting, pulling.
Rushing through the water to somewhere, anywhere.
Swimming, splashing in the sun.
