“Always in the night,
she loved the sea of his hands
washing over her,
his fingers all rough sand
and pinches’ kisses on her skin,
until at last he brings the tide.
and covers her in need.”

“I’m so eager to see you again, but I wouldn’t ask to see you.
Not because I’m proud. In fact, in front of you, I cede all my pride.
Yet only if you asked to see me, our meeting would be meaningful to me.”

“The thing I love about you (ok, it’s one thing. one stone in a rock yard of things) is that you have this dream and you don’t let it deflate and stagnate like I do. You don’t lift your skirt and step over it to the petty, self-inflated demands of the day, like I do. You don’t keep it precious and shelved and preserved, like I do. Your thing is smoothed out in front of you, constantly, like a map of the battles you intend to wage by night. And win by daybreak.

We are here, because you are fearless. Because you consider nothing impossible. Because you show up, and work and stay the course and steady the ship and keep watch on the horizon, unsleeping. And whether dry land appears or not, you prepare for it as if it lies under the next swell. Because one day, it will lie under the next swell.”
