when we lived in california i remember my mom told me a story. she was swimming with the blue waves when she was overcome by the sea. she drove deep down under the ocean. she looked up, down left and right and could only see blue. however she knew which way she'd come from and swam to the sky. and she swam as far as she could unable to breach the surface. she gave up. letting herself drown, quickly falling deeper and deeper into the sea. she closed her eyes for the last time and almost fell into the dark when suddenly, her head popped up into salty air. she looked down, realizing the blue wasn't the sky at all, but the bottomless sea.
maybe i've lost the sky too.
