Leveling (poem)

I am eye level
with a rising tide
Face pressed to sand, soil, land.
This anchors me, keeps me
steady. There goes the water.
Flirting with my nostrils,
teasing me to drown.
I am motionless.
I am still breathing.
There is nothing greater
than this moment --
women versus water, leveling.
