Our watery hourglass

The distant horizon called out to me 

That’s the only time I can feel my breath 
When I haven’t been rejected by your tides 
But being outside of you,
prodigious
You sat here, with me in the foam

I’ve fallen in solitude,
without your cleansing 
We used to sit  in the same pattern 
Do you miss the time when we felt real? 
The wishes I’ve made 
To feel you in my grasp 
Always met with my pale palms 
I tried to replace you 
Encapsulate, recreate, re-consume you 
It’s far too wet, too cold for me
The sand is where I shared myself with you 
I felt warm then, when we devoured the sea 
Emerged then, an embryo, without you 
I cannot stand it any longer 

The call to our sea 
echos to my nature 
We can breathe there once more
All three of us 
swallowed by the tides 
I can feel you again 
Our affection can breed in the blue water 
seen only by us three, 
Known by no other 


I have taken my last breath 
I know that I will reach you 
Our ovule is submerged 
Away from the fleeting shore 
I am no longer singular 
I breathe our water, until I can no longer see


You wont suffocate alone, 
We will be crushed with you
Only the waves will know us
