Jellyfish Toss – v3

If must have been

the freezing cold waters

the newness of the needles

not feeling their texture

the sting of their poison

Please, oh please

catch it (and not wear it)

So were the thoughts

rushing through my mind

as I played

jellyfish toss

within the circle

this faithful congregation

of newfound friends,

at the edge of the sea.

Dripping goo and

stinging cells, who

knew the risks;

but we were definitely

careful, oh so careful.

Toss it gently, oh please
