Little Pine Boat

Jess Gittens

Send me out to sea in a little pine boat. Run with me in the dead of night. Run with me until we reach the morning light, And run with me until the foggy morning air leaves our faces feeling dewy. Until our voices scream so loud that the clouds part and the rains pour A wailing sob from heaven.

Jump with me from the mountains that kiss the sun, Fall with me until we hit the water And our clothes cling to our freezing bodies. Because when you crashed into me you brought the entire ocean. It hit all at once and then there was calm, The soft lull of the sea pulling itself back together.
