words fail me
running away from my mouth when I try
to squeeze in a few more syllables
and all the ones that matter burn up
in the flames of my anxiety

Last night I searched for you in the surf
In waves that flooded a house on a cliff
All I could see was the chimney barely breaking the surface
I thought of you inside those four walls
Tumbling in the waves amid your things
I woke up just as I reached that barely there chimney
My fingers falling through nothing as I tried to grab anything real
