Ocean by Hanna McEuen

perspicacity

with all the ocean
between

us, we

wait. we sway.
we dance

the ocean dance   like
moonbeams in
the

day-time   (we) owe it

all to you, to
swallowed leaves
on top of old screen doors

and

swallowtail doves
on
fence posts,    (we)

discover things
about winter in texas
(we)

never knew

and we live   like
we're underwater
for

(most) of our lives,
we dance.
