Like a tidal wave, it took him down
Rogue waves beat me onto the sand
The sea churns
The salty water absorbs little pain,
Inexplicable, cataclysmic
The water still laps at his bony ankles
Settles at my wavering hips
It drove him to distant seas, foreboding lands
To corners of the earth I cannot access
Like living without bones
Like brokenness we carry on our knees
Years eclipse us
Hope lies in the vastness of the sea
