Surfacing underneath you sea asu lapis

Trying to imagine being underneath a liquid that we call water while clutching to a metal ledge of a big concrete building with air in my lungs.
Sensing water in your ears and eyes. Being split by water. Thoughts astray.
Algaic groaning gulping machines touching the liquid surface. Outer voices uttering in displaced languages. Who are you I am? Sinking. Waves floating over and under. Listening to antartic krill that sway to and fro. Emerging. Walking over oceanic noise, turning the page.
Your ears on surfaces.
