how do you take an ocean and hold it in your heart?
won't it leak, won't it spill, won't it leave you exploded on the shore?

how do you keep an ocean locked away inside?
won't it drown you? won't it leave you surging in its depths?

how do you receive an ocean and not be able to give it back?
won't it sink you? won't it just break your heart?

this boat just floats and floats in this fathomless ocean
no rudder, no rudder,  no bay here in which to drop anchor.
