I have hidden inside a sea shell
but forgotten in which.
________________________________________________
Now daily I dive,
filtering the sea through my fingers, to find myself.
Sometimes I think
a giant fish has swallowed me.
Looking for it everywhere I want to make sure
it will get me completely.
________________________________________________
The sea-bed attracts me, and
I’m repelled by millions
of sea shells that all look alike.
Help, I am one of them.
If only I knew, which.
________________________________________________
How often I’ve gone straight up
to one of them, saying: That’s me.
Only, when I prised it open
it was empty. ~ Marin Sorescu, 'The Sea Shell'
