astounded,
i swim in your tears,
unable to find you
through this salty ocean.

eyes,
and unknown wounds burning
i find the beach,
i shake the water from my skin,
and spot you.
a piller of salt,

dead
dry
decaying

a form so very still,
while the beach teems with life.
so close to the shore you stand...

i fill my pockets with this concentration of your tears.
i scrape grains off, and catch them.
wipe them off my clothes.

sheilding my eyes from the sun,
i lick my lips,
tasting you still,
and head to town to sell your misery.
hungry, myself, for a savory treat.
