the end of august,
the end of august,
when hopes and dreams bob upon
the final waves of
summer’s mirage, ready to reel
in the big one, any day now

on green lake, for a
on green lake, for a
moment, we are held by the
summer heat and our
engine sputtering a call-
and-response to the ripples

** in the absence of The Daily Post from WordPress, here’s your daily prompt: sputtering
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

seven paces to
seven paces to
the atlantic, it comes up
to measure me and
my intent.
eventually, the
waves will rise
to chest-level, so
cold that i will
no longer have to
say the things i
need to say
because there
will be a numbness
that simply forgets

the mind is crowded
perhaps there are waves
the tongue you do not
the tongue you do not
choose to use loses
elasticity, fumbles
its phonetic alphabet,
but remains resilient,
bobbing across
brainwaves,
suspending
memories as bait

at the center of

our laughter – a familiar
harmony, wet lips

when you are asleep,
when you are asleep,
the seconds rise and fall beneath
an arm around your
waist. you are the waves, pulling
me towards morning’s shores

for a moment, the
for a moment, the
sun felt high, as if it could
last an afternoon
longer, no worries, no rush,
waves lapping this side of sky
