Kraken

 
You have released
the Kraken.

The mighty eye opens,
thrusting to the swelling surface.
I come for you in waves,
fists strapped to the starboard bow.

Your tentacles are draped
like twisted sea dreads
swaying across your varnished shoulders.

I am the captain’s daughter.
You are the mutiny of FUCK,
painted and tainted with exotic tattoos,
canon balls crashing
against my soft ocean innocence.

I am the salty, white foam
and the shackled brown curls.
You are the rage
of maritime tempest.

Daddy’s never seen
his little girl
ride a seahorse so hard

though I warned him
straight up
about the riptide.
