Rising Tide
You are distracted by the small waves and the
repetition of the moon.
I watch the sands of us slip through your fingers,
knowing you are unencumbered by
trappings of reality, or the responsibility of the rising tide.

ok, so please be completely honest.
if a friend of yours was dating someone who was smart, but a bit on the ‘fat and homely side’, would you open your mouth to comment on said friend’s ability to ‘do better’ as they say (and when i say ‘they’ i mean stupid people who objectify women’s bodies). [...]

of our hearts,
in a circle of life, could bring.
But today I think it might be too much;
