Simple

I have become married as of late
to the sound of the sea
the quaint, desperate keen of
drowned souls and walking widows
An hour too late I found myself
upon my own rooftop parapet
searching not for
long-lost husbands but
long-lost breath

Comment of disillusioned dreamery and your words are neither small nor ordinary nor simple nor apathetic. Nightly earth tremors will always drive blood like ours to rise from death into icey breath just to jot down lines for no one. PS I wrote a poem for you.
