May 2022
the blanket blew away
the one you layed out for me over top the sand
for just a moment i wanted to stand and have my moment with the ocean
the blanket blew away and i'm alone again
i must have been naked this whole time
because suddenly i feel the wind brush against my bare chest.
youre about 300 meters away by now
trailing the blanket that blew away
with you gone
and our blanket blown away
i have no choice but to bury myself in the sand
i begin digging a hole like a dog on all fours
i lay myself inside and let the sand cover me entirely
the sand wraps my legs and coats my belly button
the sand crawls up my arms and shields my ****
i take a deep breath in and close my eyes
the sand has been layered above me by now
i believe i wont be found again
i know how they dont come back
