Arizona

Staring out the car window. 

At 80 mph.
 Driving to yet another place
 I will eventually call home. 

Dreaming into the setting sun.

I feel the waves
start to flow over me.

Drink in the water. 

Breath it in.

Grief crashes in my lungs. 

Whirling in my chest
 around my heart.

In a few hours the tide will lower
and I'll be able to breath again. 

For now
 I'll choke on the pieces
 of this broken heart.
