some nights, when the gates were locked
and the harbor was unreachable,
i'd sneak through the bars and run through
the cold sand of the night.
the moon would shine down, and
i'd bask in it as others did the sun.
and i'd remember your lips
and your eyes
that gazed at me as the sky does the ocean
and the sailors at sea.
and i'd lay down,
with your promises in my head
and let out a cry of longing
for my caption.
