Already Gone -

If there were an ocean

We’d be wading in the distance

There would be only water

Creating a resistance

A place to decompress

A vat of chlorine’s close enough, I guess

If there were an ocean

We’d glisten on the surface

Surface

Instead of an eruption

We bubble, only briefly

When there is erosion

We both regret it, deeply

I arrived at the scene, you were perfectly surrounded by pylons

When the crowd separated, the officer said you were already gone

Appetite minuscule

Middle of the night

Drain the pool

The summer’s over

I don’t think I could find it

I don’t know how to find it again

Don’t think that I could get behind it

I don’t think I will ever find it again
