folk here are empty
of rhapsody brightness
(airlocked possibilities
stay the wonder of living--
out walks logic into the world
to live half-heartedly)
she has a knot in her throat tied long ago
in a countryside wedding
blue skied perfection at the time
yonder impends a husband in black attire
staring out across the quiet land
he can hear his heart slow
slow down
the dreams of the town people
made to sail in the open ocean, are
landlocked away for safe suffocation
as held breaths in a cemetery

For what it may still be worth, I say yes to the title. That, and the last stanza packs a punch of it all; nothing is quite as grim as facing the sea when being landlocked, isn't it?
