The sea is poison
I’m just a little piece of the sea
Like dad I stretch out and groan deep
And there is not a thing beneath me.
And you’re right, this water’s really salty.
I move, I’m still, I drown your sorrows
But I’m still in the same place tomorrow.
I do so much and still remain
Within the same blue shivering frame.
And finally, i couldn’t bear the weight any longer
I landed on your sandy surface,
Planting my pains and making you stronger
And it felt really good.
I didn’t know I’d stay so long,
Your flora wilt and dead.
So sorry but my dear, you’re wrong
You said stay. You made your bed.
And laying in it’s what I do
So here I am right next to you-
Ungraspable and cold,
Learning how to hold.
