I dreamt
I was beside
you

We were
on the coast
of Lantana

You got up
dressed
and looked

The ocean
was grey
and calm

The waves
ebbing
slowly

Your stomach
was flat
and shimmered

then
you walked
away

I sat
motionless
and gazed

Visions assault
but my eyelids
were closed

A boat
on the
horizon

A wall
being built
behind me

An old lover
stared at me
from the stars

An impassable
cloud lingered
in my head



Clarity
shone through
the rain

I got up
turned
shocked




The wall
was higher
than me

You were
gone, but
I hear you

I walked
into the sea
arms crossed

A cool breeze
struck me
on the face

My feet hit
the ocean
and curled

It was warm
and turned
into blue

I continued
until I
was submerged
