Once when

I stepped

Out the

Car and

Walked

My empty

Hand felt

Another’s

There in

Mine and

We two

Did walk

Too

And just

When I

Felt lost

And dropped

To my

Knees

An ocean

Surf happened

Upon me

And there

In that

Fresh water

I remembered

You beside

Me licking

Away my

Tears

And in

Some strange

Way when

Upon my

Knees and

Broken you

Reached out

Pulled me

Up and

Set me

Upon your

Shoulder carrying

Me

As though

I were

A sack

Of flour

To sit

And gaze

Upon tomorrow
