By Jenna Reimer
I must go and leave this behind,
Leave you behind.
A dampened breeze rains over my heart;
The wars in my frightened wings cry fiercely.
My memory will surface like the darkening of night
But will desert you in its hour of retreat.
Here it is a shipwreck, swallowed in a vicious cave;
My soul is the fury of its blind captain howling in fear.
This place, Like the sea, sank discoverers and gargled hope;
This place, like the distance, devoured desire.
I vowed to act beyond this wreckage and walk;
The lighthouse guiding me by the hour of its blazed spell.
There is still fire within my marked grave,
Ignited by hungering teeth and a cemetery of tomorrows.
My entwined body will merge with the water’s dance
Drifting and singing like a sailor in the fore of a ship.
The voyage of my destiny will begin amidst your longing;
What sorrow you may express will be drowned by my compass.
Departing like the deathless wind I will set sail
In the passing moments of a cherry dawn and forget.
