adrift

how can you receive an ocean, and hold it in your heart?
won't it leak, won't it spill, won't it explode upon your shore?

how do you feel an ocean's tide, and keep it locked away inside?
won't it pull? won't it drown? won't it surge you in its depths?

how can you hear an ocean's call, and not within its depths fall?
won't it wash? won't it sink? won't it tumble you forever more?

this boat just floats and floats in fathomless waters
no rudder, no rudder, no bay here in which to drop anchor.
