The danger came
because you did not
expect it .

You thought it was over.  

But this was how
it always worked, how
you were always most vulnerable
in a state of security, how
you could not sense
the precariousness
of your position
until the tide was rushing
toward you, the salt pulsing
through the wound
that had only just
begun to heal.
