Sea rose

Like dropping a pink *** of soil

or jumping through a wave.

Breaking.

But unlike the sea rose,

which died on top of the fridge,

I have salty tears I don't know what to do with.

It can only come back as a name,

not a thing,

in the memory of your breaking smile

and not of the shoreline.
