Sunset

I walked to the water

Even though it was really too cold

For water

My heart always

A little bit broken

Music and sand and the sunset
Empty chairs in an uneven row

It’s been a while

Since I danced

We talk about

Important pancakes

The day you wake up

For the first time

Friends and acquaintances

The presence of a savior

At your most dire need

The sun keeps setting

Hear an answer to a question

That usually finds no resolution

” When you start to live in a false reality, you must be humbled”

The words go all the way down

Like whiskey

There are no sure ways

To always be a badass

Somedays are just

Winter

“When did you stop dancing?”

I say honestly
“When she died.”

I get an honest reply
“Thats tragic”

I spin and I twirl and I jump and I remember

Remember

It’s what I love the best

The sky turns orange
The music plays
The singer sings
I see my prints

Like puzzle pieces

In the sand

The worlds tumble out like marbles

Between breaths
“The thing about tragedy is, you cant let it make you tragic.”

I convince my audience

Along with myself

The dancer dances
The sun goes down
The singer sings

I remember
