  • the restlessness I sense is love emote
    like a baby first wailing with air in throat
    or a heart cave-hidden from the sun remote
    or sailing upon the seas in a sinkless boat
    adrift for a million years.


    can you drown in tears?
    have you tried, have you cried?
    or is it better to remain sullen
    and above the tides
    that sweep away memories
    of love side-by-side,
    and use your eyes only
    henceforth to see,
    tearless, wide?
     
    (to clearly see that sea of a billion tears
    upon the sinkless boat of a million years
    with the gimlet prescience of a peerless seer
    knowing forever
    you’ll have nothing to fear
    because you can no longer feel.)


    or let cry
    (droplets to sea)
    and make real.
