Turritopsis dohrnii
jellyfish bloom,
small moons that draw her mind from the shore,
neural stingers shooting blanks, muscle with no memory
(she tries)
no electricity, just chemicals
smoothing her beach into glass,
wrinkles left for oversize tees and
hospital smocks
this ocean is a pool
she swirls around,
a toilet wasting everything,
a child splashing
