he said nothing
i said less.
then i left.
whatever happens between us happens
on the brink of destruction.
i only leap out of comfort when
i can think later.
always when the sea and the moon come to greet me.
she has been in my eyes this whole time.
that night she was somewhere quiet.
she's a rose, a quiet lagoon
a hidden treasure at the bottom of the sea;
he's a national anthem
he's the song my voice can sing
in the night they stay afloat
wondering what got us all together
how the strings can connect
and spin us in
i have stopped trying to guess the motions
i just take them in
let the tide take me
wherever i have to be
