towards a calmer forever

this is the way the ocean forgets
cell by cell
erasing and eroding the skin on my cheek
arm and little toes
tearing away tomorrow's obligations
with wind and salt.

this is the way the ocean
has alzheimers
always forgetting the so of things here and there
its first birth
a little diatom perhaps
sprouting from a seemingly
vast abandon of nothingness

this is
the way the ocean makes me dream
it sweeps up the guilt in my sheets
and turns my breath into waves.

this is the way the ocean
teaches us
infinity- how it is an ok
and perhaps
adventure
towards and towards.
