The Sea It Wishes

and the fishes
they don’t want to work on land

but we tumble hard to imagine

that without these tragedies and passions
we would all surely throw ourselves
right off a cliff

just to joust ourselves

and have a little fun
with bone crunching gravity

----------------------------------

salt away your tears
in its blind rage

and let loose
your fundamental tensions
with the world
until
your mind fumbles

right into a beautiful pattern of colors

like a school of fish
swimming in the
bright
cold
sunshine
