Darkness all around, waves crashing against them,
water covering eyes and noses and mouths,
snouts held high to gasp in air...
Rocking, rolling, spinning, slowly
they crest the waves again, drowning at sea
in the darkness of night waters that swallow...
He breaks forth, nose pointing toward sand,
toward beach, toward home.
She feels his guidance as his tail wraps close...
Leading her back.
Searching for shore.
