you'd think the
sound of this beach
would give me déjà vu,
but it doesn't.
maybe because it's a
different ocean than the one
we used to visit.
maybe because it's November
and I only know the Atlantic
in the summertime.
I hear things a little differently
these days.
the waves sound more
lonely than peaceful.
I'd like to think that
if you were here,
the sun would shine
through the fog
brighter than
it does now.
