Rough Waves
for Mia & Camille

we score goals,
when we, inserted, fire
I couldn’t miss
I was assisted by mother earth
by stars above

wish I had more than verse,
than words to give her
seeking higher ground
so much to gain

must play the game of life
and death, to the end

from danger zone to danger zone
so far from home

I used to be captain of her ship
and of her sister’s
we’re all adrift now
I need a lift
