monday eve —
bedroom to somewhere
in the sea, year 2014

i want it. yes.

i need it. true.

it's that craving 
that kept me up 
last night. the
craving that kept
hunger on clawing
at the  tissues
that mother has
built inside of me.
now, it's marred
and tangled like 
one of my sewing 
threads.

i looked up. the
gleam of his brown 
orbs calling unto me.
the waves i could
smell. salty like
those moonlight
toasts i eat. blue —
the replica of the
sky that held the
billion graveyards 
of the stars.

i am sitting. here.
the sails of the boat
were swimming
from the wind that
carried us to the
unknown. he sailed.
a sailor in the middle
of the chaos of the
waves and the sun's
warm light.

we spoke naught to
each other. the silence
was enough to hear 
each other's thoughts. 
both peaceful — unlike 
the last time. so, this is
the true journey he
promised me.
