beneath the surface

vivid hues            jut
just below surface
coral and porous rocks
violet
pink
peach
blue
green  

I lower face into water
taste salt
and spy through personal window
deliberate breathing through rubber snorkel  

stay close to island edge
where two dimensional fish swim
in            and        out
of rock cracks and holes
some striped
others so tiny
they can't possibly belong in this
vastness
of the Pacific
the endless enigma
unless you crack the surface
and look
