Through the foggy water I spot
A clump of hair, seaweed or jellyfish
I grab a fistful
Seaweed.
Good.
I splash around in the shallows
Collecting my new pubes
Until I see an actual jellyfish
One of the giant, orange, stinging ones
Here, we differentiate between stinging jellyfish and non-stinging jellyfish
There are two words for jellyfish
In Danish.
I rush back to the sand, and sink my wet buttocks into it
The seaweed I mix
With my pubes
We match.
There is a little starfish on top
And some other crawly creatures creeping around
I don’t mind
I feel like a natural woman
A wet one
Come and get me.
