the ocean
i walked on the beach in the dark
i screamed at the waves
there was a light out in the water
maybe a buoy
or a sailboat
i dreamt that i kissed you for the first time
you kissed me
we kissed
and i thought your love might be like the ocean
like a swelling wave
cresting
breaking
losing my balance in the tide
the sand shifting between my feet
catching my breath
looking at the sky
the fog
you
me
the ocean
