an ocean, an ocean
i am away at sea
floating in the waves of blue
my favorite place in the world
the clouds roll in
& the storm begins
the tides push me down
my lungs fill with blue
i cannot breathe in blue
yet i cannot breathe without it too

Fragility can hardly explain you.
Breaking apart in my eyesight
Locking eyes then peeling away like rot fruit
You speak so fast.
I can barely tell whether you speak at all or flurry your words out like poker cards
Dealing me fours and sixes
I can't make aces out of the air you breathe
Yet I knit poetry out of your lingering fingertips.
