I gave in complete
to get the feeling of the rise and the fall
the sea held its form
to the beat of the storm
I tried to find my wave
So, roll the carpet roll the tide
make everything alright
I feel my body washing away again
When did you know
that they could hear it in the way that you spoke
like walls that divide
the in from outside
“where’d you say you’re from”
The scar on my chin
the part of me that shows up where the hook took my skin
the conjugal nights
the appetite for how the other half lived
proved to be too big
