on a scale of walking
into traffic and
walking into the sea,

chose the sea,
and when i reached it,

could accommodate
the weight. i
wandered alongside,
instead of into,
though the sound of
the waves will always
compete with your voice

the montauk of my
mind, mostly
squishy, unformed
and uninformed,
waiting for the
right kind of magic
to pull it out
whole, with wings,
ready for flight

the conversation like a
cat’s cradle string game –
you pinch these figures into
meaning, i hook, dip, and pull
