Beach Nights

Take me to the sea at dusk where the sand reaches beyond touch. Where Ferris wheel lights crinkle on glassy swells and the surf chases a sandpiper that never knew a silent wave. Take me on the whisper of a carelessly written rhyme of blue jeans rolled to the knees soaked in the lucid seams of a roller coaster ride of so many days in between, floating weightless in metered measures of mindless static. Take me drag me gather me in handfuls to your landscape of broken stillness. Tuck me close in your sleepy heart and listen to the pounding.
