high
love in every breath i in —
out
i meds about the ocean in my mouth
scarlet seas in the south
heat seep from every curve
the sudden urge to undress
home
i vibrate
many moons pass
but the one before last, I came to
realizing there was no brick wall bigger than I
five feet tall
& yet enough to chain my mindv
to a thought that I thought when thoughts were lost between my ears
all along the sea was right behind me
and now I’m here
at the the coast
toes soaked
waiting to jump —
waiting for what?
is it not enough to c my reflection ?
there are parts of me
so black that they look blue
hues faster than the sound
of you at 4:40 in the afternoon
when winter stole half a day of sunlight
and hid the moon
just a little cold weather
don’t you remember when snow made you run outside in full suit to climb the ice dunes
red in the face just to get a taste of
winter
