I wonder if you wonder
how it goes,
how it was, how it should be
on Tuesday mornings
lost
in the reef
when the stars fade to blue.

Drifting into five AM,
half of myself
is listless--
for you, for him.

Ugly
and void
and landlocked.

Dear poetry:
for what it's worth
I am not your ocean girl.

I am just trying to sleep.
