Saving Grace

Intentionally, perhaps,
She slid off her lifeboat
And began swimming slowly -
Towards the end.

Awkwardly, alas,
Like a seal after a fight
She rolled sideways –
Away from grace.

Occasionally, indeed,
She made love to the jellyfish
Some were lonely –
Most were already dead.

Eventually, at last,
She surrendered.
Water pulled her
To land.
