we dove into the salty water to rescue
the broken pieces of our drop-kicked hearts
from the bottom of the cold & dark ocean floor
Resurfaced, to be blinded by the sun
the heat waves revived our hungry cells
we swam to shore
walked out of the water
across hot Pacific Ocean sand
(the kind that slips through his fingertips)
straight to the Free Way
bye bye honey
we've got a plane to catch.
