I've never felt the waves like this

licking the rocks so many people

have hopped on.

the algae is a woman's hair

until the water unveils

the slime shines in the sun.

I've never felt the air like this

whispers and marvels

whistles through the stakes

in his path.

I feel like I could run

on the ripples

glide through the calm

if it would get me to you.

I've never felt your absence like this

I wish I didn't have to

and you should be here

drawing or breathing

combing the algae even though

it's slimy.

feeling this with me.
