An Ocean

I wish I had an ocean
And you
To take with me

The swell and crash
A speeding train
The sound comes from behind
And passes through my body like a spirit would

There is no fighting it
She will contain my fear
While I take my time
Breathing

“Tell me you would go even without me” he says

I will not jump when the song reaches my feet
the pitch gets higher and higher
a building falls

it is a rhythm
and strings
and horns
it sizzles and mumbles
arms close all around me
lips up to my ear

listen…
