The Weight of Water | A Poem About Longing, Memory & Desire
In my dreams, he comes to me
the way the sea does:
all hunger,
all memory,
all gravity.

His voice,
God, that voice,
low, rough,
speaking to me
in the language of want.

I wake with salt
on my tongue
and an ache
in the shape of him.

I still meet him
where the world
loosens its grip,
in the undertow
between memory
and desire.
