like the stars and the sun

and at the edge of the ocean the rocks
cut from a million years embrace
hold up a house that may not be safe
between subatomic particles and empty space

the sea breeze full of sodium and chlorine
will sting your face as you fall
the rocks below will love you
the water is meant to enthrall

see the white caps on the sea
she believes in memories
will take you to a place where
your body stops autonomous functioning
your brain forces you to think
you will no longer want to breathe
the vibrations make you blink
inside your heart is clamoring
and your mind beats it by hammering
the past, the present, and the past again
because the future is too far away

just when you think there's no where else to go
she pulls you in with her undertow
rocks change into other rocks over time
shells and skeletons get caught in the lime

see the white caps on the sea?
more waves traveling toward the debris
an unsafe house crushed under the wind and rain
a storm that took away the pain
