Ripples

I wish my arms were longer, so I could reach across this gap. Instead, I'm waiting in fragments for life to happen to me. Everything nearer the ocean seems so ladylike. I want to feel her soft breath on my face. I want to hear her heartbeat pulsing in waves. I want to wade in something magnificent and refreshing, and until the day that I can, the only thing that comforts me is to dream and wish and -

Want.
