the airport had been swimming in both their visions for years now
until one day everything else just seemed to sink out of view

it came to fill up everything

knowledge of excess baggage
was what started the tears
& now they fall on forever

they filled the airport with their salt
washed everything with their taste
he liked the way their acid started to bight into skin

soon the whole airport was awash
everything they talked about
began to merge with the waters
& slowly float away on its tide

everything’s becoming their tears
