—I WAS GONNA DIE YOUNG, NOW I GOTTA WAIT FOR YOU

maybe

meet me

under the

waterfall

we’ll let our

hair down

strip everything

away

skin and sin

all the rancor

and nonsense

let the waves

rock us like

babies

do a little

soul cleanse

in the tide pool

naked and

naughty

slick as dolphins

splashing like toddlers

who cares

we can be perfectly

honest

for once

because water

never lies or

judges what’s

floating in it

after a while

we’ll paddle

out of the cove

make it to

mauritius

or else

someplace

equally delicious

how’s that sound

what’re you doing

hurry up

the water’s warm

and i’m here

waiting
