I talk a lot about
not being willing
to set myself on fire
to keep another person warm

but I’ve never talked about
getting thrown in your ocean
and tossed around in the waves
pummeled with walls of water

you’re supposed to be transparent
but you hit like a brick wall

call the calvary,
I’m coming home anyway
