For Eric, Still (3)
By Salty Ships
Filling my pockets with stones
and wading into the ocean
This is
what it is
to love you
Pebbles of gold
and diamond
and light
but the waves
they suffocate.

This is eloquent and precise in language, but comes across in a casual, factual tone. I like the notion that what is weighing you down is precious...but you still suffocate. Interesting! Ciao, T/S
