relentless

     

waves crash on the shore and we play
who can reach farther into
the unknown depths

i imagine worlds i have never seen
i see you at the place where i lost myself

it’s a long story
she says
so i’ll just tell you the end

out the door
and in the backyard
you were waiting
waiting

           inevitable

crawling up from places
unseen

spinning out of reach

and it is so easy to forget who it is
in the dark of the night
