“I wish the ocean learned to speak its terrors to me, the way introductions speak of repressed ideas and meaning. the ocean, how she consumes desire and sets me dreaming, like flame and fire, burning darkness away until you learn to speak our names. She teaches me to cry, and with my tears, I drown the earth. She teaches me to cry and with my tears I drown the earth.”
