the sea knows


the sea knows
my rhythms and moods
my movements, the moons
phases brake down
we are the same
the sea knows
my weary mind
and sunken heart
a week a month a year
but, no bargaining here
the sea knows no time
only of cirumstance
capturing the thickest
iron rusting away each
layer
thinner,
thinner
the sea knows of
drunkeness
emotions wash
all thought, habit
escapes
one eye open
meanwhile
can you hear the storm
shadows form over our heads
and though we may be lost
we will always be in
this sea
