golden hours in a lifetime
to string a necklace
longer than the horizon,
more weightless than our eyes can see

by the water’s edge,
by the water’s edge,
bonds become stronger, it’s true –
looking out into
the depth of an endlessly
cold darkness brings us closer

on a scale of walking
on a scale of walking
into traffic and
walking into the sea,
last night i
chose the sea,
and when i reached it,
you called me
out of the blue,
an accusatory tone
in your voice,
taking me back
to the days when
i’d arrive at my
childhood home
and not ring you up.
i was found out,
i leaned the
heaviness against you
so that i could
find a new
balance, and you
shifted so that you
could accommodate
the weight. i
wandered alongside,
instead of into,
though the sound of
the waves will always
compete with your voice
