ocean


I remember you
swimming in the ocean
like it was nobody's business
back when you
never had the notion
you would have to ask forgiveness
you were like a child then
even though you were 22
you were running wild then
learning just what you could do
you threw your head under the water
you breathed through your nose
you got sand and salt water
on your salvation army summer clothes
where do you suppose
everything changed 
I know one thing you don't know
you were not to blame
you were not to blame
