I lost my heart
but then you found it
tangled in the weeds
I once called civility
but I now know by a different name
I lost my mind
it's funny how
the ones who make you crazy
convince you
the rest of the world is insane
it's funny
except no one is laughing but me
because it feels so strange
to think with such clarity
and such calm
you are my life-giving ocean
washing over me
keeping me safe and warm and smooth
like a piece of broken glass
made into something beautiful
after being worn down by the waves
you've made me a heathen
in the most civil and wild way there is to be
because I've become me
and I am free
