Written a few months ago, but never truly done.

Thank you, and I’m sorry.


‘till my last breath thank you, and i’m sorry.

i wear my heart on my sleeve,
even at sea,
and every daw and gull stops to peck.

                          and i let them.

in thrashing tempest and swelling storm
i go overboard.

when adrift, i found you,
a rock like no other.
in your eye, the clouds break and the winds subside
just enough to catch my breath.

only now do i see,

the storm
                all along
                                was me.
