hush
If you should ever leave-
Suddenly set sail and quietly vanish on the horizon,
Or
Slowly, silently fade away like the tides-
I’d mourn the loss of you quietly,
Softly banishing you to a silent watery
Grave in the hushed recesses of my memory.
If you should ever drown your love for me,
And, silent, slip under the waves,
I’d quietly walk along the sands and maybe
Reminisce, but most likely not, silently watching
The hushed shells of blue-grey and brown quietly
Burrow into the wet beach, silently
Breathing salted air.
