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
