1.
Oh Ocean
are you always lost
at sea?

Do you even want
to be found?

2.
Let me call you
little wave
Get to know each
ripple and rise
its own story
apartments in a sky scraper
silence in a subway car
neighbors that never met
until

3.
I am a ship in a bottle

Swallow me up already
will you?

4.
Dark depths of unknown
let me explore all of you
that is unsure

Your many molecules do not scare me
I am an ocean too

Let me take
make
inundate
you

5.
Or do you secretly
want to do that to me?

I too can be a sandy shore
that you gently caress
when the moon rises
to the right spot in the sky

Patience
waiting
allure

6.
We both know this is a lie

I will build you castles
but I cannot sit still

7.
You make me want
to know you

Crime scene string
beautiful mind

Periodic table labels
Taxonomic classifieds

Wash away my want
to make sense

Take me
like a tide
