Let me float
In a sea of poetry,
Words weaving my hair,
Verses like seawater
Trickling into my heart
And lapping against the shores
Of the eternally hoping arteries;
Let the stars above me
Be knots tied of love
By hands calloused
By the gentle roughness of hope
As they turn over and over
A shard of glass
Until it’s edges smooth;
Let a single tear fall
From the corner of my eye,
Shattering the smooth surface of sea
Into shards I’ll scoop up
With calloused hands
And tuck into my heart,
Braid into my hair,
Mold with my palms;
Let the sea
Flood my heart.
