cruiseline

we are so small
loving beaches
where we can touch
and people we wish to
gathering for the moon
when its bright and big
answering call and conviction
as people who don’t
playing pioneer and puppet
with god at the casinos 
to each know the reasons
we can or cannot be alone
with unknown creatures
so we prefer to see our toes
curling below
taste salt on skin
pretend to do our best
to chase the light
as horizons merge
when the sky falls dim
