our senses gone
an unbroken dawn
cracks and poaches its whites by the sea
the folding of time into the sun and elements
overexposed the same
no one to blame
adventure magnificent and tragic
we will never love like that
again

#katyamills
in a vessel constructed by hand
they faced the mighty sea alone
the sails they sewn to withstand
hundred knot winds blown
past the limits of good faith
across the monochrome
lashed to the wheel by a knotted sheet
they piloted through a seven day storm
no sleep no sleep until it dialed down
salted air and foam lodged within
the corrugated bone
they untethered too soon
a misstep any good sailor could take
to make the much needed repairs
high up on the mainsail mast
when taken by a gust and forever
lost to sea
#katyamills
in a home near to falling
into the sea
living on oysters and powdered foods
the unwanted wanted
to be wanted
when the sea finally took them out
they got their wish
#katyamills
we imagined
the offshore oil platforms
invading warships
here @ the meeting
of land and sea
how quickly peace
is lost
#katyamills
the undertow
determined to drag us
down. we tumbled through kelp
and brine
in the depths we found
the force 4 uplifting
triumphant she
carried us back from
the sea
#katyamills
above the sea
a lonely barn flanked with stables
where horses once hung
their heads
the sea cannot be
contended
you become a boy
place a flower in my hair
she thunders she
outlives us
all
#katyamills
interior lands locked
upon a promise hollow
wondering what and who
to follow. unable to see
suns rise and fall against
the sea
#katyamills
we took some shots you
caught me in transition on
a silver disc. years later we
met for dinner. i was lost
a cat back up hurt and poor
you gave a royal fanfare i
found out you’re gone by
internet. i will never forget you
my god of the sea and
to the sea you return
#katyamills
a starless sky
moving sea
a diving hawk
you and me
moving
the sea
the starless
sky
turn around
eternity
