My heart, i offered you up and then flung you into the ocean last week.
It was a full moon night and salt and pearls gathered around you to preserve you.
Like an ancient pharaoh salty deep in pyramid gold, you will be safe when it’s time to return and reign again with someone who wants you. Until then, immerse yourself in deep, wander moonlit paths and singsingsing yourself to sleep.
