saturday night at venice beach

i long for it to be that night again
where the earth and ocean meet
and where moonshine kissed my cheeks
and the breeze ran her fingers thru my hair

where divine forces lit my inner sage
and i am grounded
that the next day, i took flight

where the waves crashing was an
ominous neon blue
it looked extraterrestrial
"wouldn't it be scary if an alien walked
out of the water?," i said.
"wouldn't it be scary if jesus walked
out of the water?," cindee said

lakan said it was the plankton
wendell said it was mars being so close
sarah and nina said it was pollution
cindee said it bioluminecense
i told them it was magic

and to leave it at that.
