#200 ebb and flow

the intertidal zone is laid bare to enjoy
slackwater coincides this time

but i worry about what's coming

i am with my girl
our last argument was months ago
the synapses in my cortex forgot the path
that remembers how it was her fault
or if

we pack camp stove and tent and gear, walk home
make love on fresh sheets
fall asleep spooning

at 6am
the phone rings
