ocean

I once lost an ocean.

I put it down there-

And walked to get coffee. 

When I came back it was gone-

And I just had it

I thought, scratching

My overburdened head.

Where had my ocean gone?

I think of you

There. Across the path of resistance-

The least likely victim

Of all of this chaos

We call LIFE here.

One day

There’ll be no lost bridges,

Oceans or friends.

One day….
