To Love

To Love

A Poem by Rhys Jacobs

You are an upside vessel
In a roaring sea,
Each nourtical mile
A reminder of the empty
Air you hold.

The space is nothing,
The arithmetic of particles
Dancing to the tune
Of unrequited safety -
Turn yourself and see.

Be filled, drown yourself.
There is no recourse.
You are empty air.
You are an upright vessel,
Drowned.
