One Foot In the Sea

I washed myself
In the Sargasso Sea.
In a way
Beyond imagination
From the top to there.
And all in between.
But by not including
That one foot in that sea.
How I managed that,
Was through total despair.
As I was drying the rest of myself
In the dry salt sea air.
That other foot had dried
And I just could not dare
To wet the other foot again
While it was still bare.
