lost at sea

water water everywhere and not a drop to drink - rime of the ancient mariner

out to the river

to drown myself

birth unraveled 

when it left the womb 

birth unraveled,

into molecules with no direction

out to sea

home.

in the sea where there

is no compass

between the layers of your skin,

soft musk

city lights upon the coastline 

flicker on the inside of my forehead

home is where the 

absurdity is 

gravity comes from

all directions

but I can see what 

space looks like

I found my way

l o s t  at sea

I wish I were

as human as you

but I have been short

circuited

heart

stop

the center of gravity has been

derailed

and now, 

the dissonant orbit 

begnis

layout a bit confusing, but perhaps that adds to the feeling of being distraught in the poem. Well penned.

These words spin incessantly and powerfully. The image of being "short circuited" reminds me of the disconnect I experience often.

I don't know how or if a lost balance can be regained but the wish (to regain) remains.

l o s t at sea"
