Let's Go

Tonight is a good moon.

Let’s pop the cork and start to drive,

Head to San Diego and dump our feelings

In the ocean, let them sink to the bottom

Where they can’t be observed by anyone,

Not even the fish, not even the other debris.

Let’s keep chasing the coast

In search of greater Californias.

I want to find earthquakes,

To watch the earth split in two and race

To the ocean floor to further suppress

The vulnerabilities we left behind.

Then, I’ll lean back, let go of baseless speculation,

And follow the earth into the sea.

My life has always acted like ocean water,

Filling holes in wet sand made by footprints

Walking away. Maybe this time, I

Can be what fills the looming emptiness.
