the wave has already disappeared | B |

have shifted and right when you are about to lose | N |
your way into the wild oats shuddering | F |
there are the stars in the center of sand dollars | G |

that make you remember what you spend is spent | B |
the entropy of pleasure a wave's body | B |
you can't hold in your hands for long You | H |
know the only way out is landmarks | O |

you can't even imagine the way we are drawn | P |
pulled by the tides the first step | Q |
into happiness its dangerous pleasure | E |
licked by the water's green flames | R |
