Rocks

Water and waves crashing upon the Rocks

I dangle my feet into the cold blue and watch you

Gazing out at a passing sailboat

your lips slightly parted- a seagull standing watch not far from us on the embankment

Earlier we are laughing- our hands brush together clinging to the railing on the train

I’m lighter than air and filled with light and

so proud of my city and every time you gasp in delight at some building or a fountain

I feel like I could hold you forever

But now we are quiet and there is only the water gently breaking on the Rocks

You exhale and smile as I hold your hand
