if you are the moon
light in the darkness
then I am the ocean
ever pulled to you
/
if I am the ocean
angry and endless
then you are the stars
shining beneath my surface
/
if you are the moon
and the stars and the sky
then I am the ocean
destined to meet at your horizon

You Think I Am Broken
Introduction This is inspired by my situation on Vocal, the Bouke de Vries work and the Screaming Trees song. I know that for many others, they would have walked away from Vocal, but I am taking it as a challenge. I get the feeling that Vocal moderators and others don't want me here (just my imposter syndrome paranoia), but I know a lot of people do, and obviously, some on Vocal do value me, so I will not be giving up.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

This is stunningly romantic and evocative. The imagery of the moon, ocean, and stars paints a cosmic love story, and the intertwining of their destinies feels both eternal and profound. Short, powerful, and brimming with emotion—a perfect tidal dance of words!
