falling asleep on a stranger

i think of destin

how cold and dark the water was

how white the sand but frigid in air

what is love if not a body of cold water and a wish that will never be fulfilled

if you feel yourself falling asleep on a stranger

is that any different from taking a piece off

you can’t catch love you can only find love

you can find it in destin

you can find it in the bottom of a freezing pool

lost under the shade

but i think it’ll always be left in the sand

with the beach crabs and the seashells

you can’t take something that belongs to the ocean
