rejoice

oh how I rejoice

me, my love, and the sea

the caves in which I whispered

secrets between shallow breaths

the nights I curled into you

my dreams your dreams

with no boundary between

oh how I rejoice

to dance above the waves

crashing onto the shore

to have someone

my great love to be

oh how beautiful

when you broke me

and how happily

I cracked, slid down,

disappeared with a terrific splash

dancing on the side of a cliff

oh how I rejoice

to have loved someone

enough

to bring me down

oh my hypertonic heart

my sunken sea legs

my arms still wrapped

around everything you gave me

my dreams turned ghost

oh how I rejoice

me, the rocks, and the sea
