Ocean to skin / by Zander Ford

When thoughts collide

Inside

What happens?


Do bubbles burst

And all the worst

Come to surface?


What happens when thoughts collide?

Do feelings get wrenched inside?


I want to this

But I should do this!

And then, damn I missed


What happens when thoughts collide?

Does space ripple

With their incoming tide?


Do the heavens cry

For a sweet lullaby?


Do ancient moms and dads laugh

At our human dance

Knowing they will return

Again

For their chance


To collide

Thoughts with land

Ocean to skin

Once again
