the heart of the sea

dear ocean,
i have an unusual
request
stuck here in the
desert alone
i must know where
to go to find
love, so that i
don’t become
just another bleached
skull beside a cactus
(somehow the body
is always missing)
signed,
lonely and looking
sent from: Marianas Trench, 4/3, 12:03am
dear lonely and looking,
find the calm
of a wellspring
it will reflect
the sparkle of the
stars and your eyes
you’ll spend your life
plumbing its depths
and always come up
with the most
refreshing taste
sincerely,
the ocean
