254. Please let your boat come back home.

In a dream, you walk into a grey sea and I don’t 
follow you. Clothes and all. 
Later, you are reborn 
and we are kissing in a grey room. Gunfire, 
meant for me, and then it is my turn to run 
without being followed. 
I am over the fence. 
I am in the fox hole. 
I am in the dusted shadows. 
I am in a forest of brilliant jeweled blue-greens, 
but the shots still scream out behind me. 
I am never out of sight 
but at least in here, 
the color permeates everything.
