New At Sea








The landscape loses ground –
and as sand is swallowed whole
there’s less and less to see
– only liquids lapping against the hulls.

With nothing to grab onto
but the winds of family, I feel faint
and want to make love feel final
but somehow it feels fake this time.

The fact that we’ve done this all before,
bringing up more age with age,
makes me want to swallow the sea
showing the land that was always there to begin with.
