Scuba Walk

Under the banner of nowhere
snapping like nights I left behind
desperation just keeps you
coming back for more
all of it measured out w/an eye-dropper
but love’s ragged
knocking at a door in the sea
a door that never opens
put the words there
swept away as it is continuously
to fall as delicate as a sledgehammer
against the pale plateglass
twilight which then rains down around you
in a million or so jagged pieces
shredding the opulent ocean air
