Something Like Romance

I hear

the great lakes feel

like oceans

and your heart feels

symmetrical to love

puddles to great masses

of roaring saltwater

but still vague

mirrors, watery reflections

of the real thing

that’s all I wanted

something like romance

not a glass screen door

seemingly open

always locked tight

I hear

crashing

is it from a seashell or

those blue blue blue eyes

both impenetrable, an easy mistake
