Chaotic chaos
Splits me
Into two
As a
Tiny pill splitter
Permanently
Arms, legs
Move without
Careful consideration
I want
To be
ONE
Calm and relaxed
Under the
Blazing
Oranges, yellows, reds
Of
A Menemsha sunset
Where the
Seagulls pass by
With extraordinary ease
Where fish soak
In the
Relaxing colors
I spread
My arms
Sand
Underneath my feet
I stand
