they heard him talking in a thin
dinner
the sea breeze wafting through
the old rusty stools
with turquoise edges brimming with the sun
crash with a wave outside
crash subduing up the mundane chatter-
in the break he says
yea she was one of those girls
with a heart full and ravenous
like the sea
all pulled together tightly shut up like a dam
one push on her uneasy frame
and she is capsized
spilling out an ocean
all over the place.
what happened? they asked, they asked.
i couldn't reach her he mumbled, he craved.
she sank.
bellow in the-
wait, wait the ocean was in her chest?
yes now stop now-
looked up roaring in his face
crash crash
he blinks.

she couldn't hold that black tide
of her waves.
