the night, smooth as silk, wraps me in a warm embrace
the heat of the moment takes me by surprise,
not giving me time to think anything through.
the faint glow of the city reflects across the still harbor.
my decision is made.
I tighten my grip on the steering wheel,
focus,
and in a flash,
I’ll be gone.
the pathways of my mind intersect and wind
curling until they turn to infinite spirals
leading to darkness I couldn't see the end of if I tried.
my mind doesn't listen when I tell it to stop.
what do you do when you cross the sea without me?
on this warm night, I stand outside in the blue dark.
I wear a bathrobe over my pajamas
and old crocs that are faded purple
it's almost night on the Tyrrhenian Sea
homes glow like stars on the cliffside
and waves of green lap against the side of the boat
there is a storm approaching,
