And The Sea Still Churns

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
