one single

there is a universe in every salty drop
running, sliding, trailing off
sheer cliff falls away into emptiness
a sadness overpowering the song
with thematic harmonics in velvet
hush now.
quiet distilled in the still air
electrical power disengaged
perhaps it is temporary
sun on the other side sort of thing
clouds will pass, planet rotates
all will be good again
perhaps.
soul sick with worry, grief, anger
lashed to the deck
bodies at a distance where gravity
pulling no longer
