Fun Fact
When “GIF” was named word of the year in 2012, Oxford Dictionaries U.S.A. credited Tumblr for pushing the word.
Text
Byssal threads attach and tangle,
Filaments spread, like vines,
Tethered together.
We both mistook the other for a rock.
Anchoring to what we thought
Was solid, static, steadfast
To the churning of the water around us.
Found ourselves grasping,
Holding to one another.
But at least we are not alone,
Wherever these waves may take us.
