The Wine-Dark Sea (IV)

It’s harder to tell
where the world ends.
I can’t think without Julia
so Julia is my mind.

Robert is my mind.
Zach is my mind.
Jon is my mind.
Heather is my mind.
Josh is my mind.
Sara is my mind.
Elisabeth is my mind.
Dave is my mind.
Teal is my mind.
Sommer is my mind.
Noah is my mind.

In the sun I carry
everyone I know & I
am carried on their backs.

They are the wine-dark sea. And I
the wine-dark sea.
