You and me, me and
You. Holding hands
As we walk run into waves
That wash away our
Pain and our
Loneliness.
Alone. Staining
With the salt, seeping
Burning our wounds and
Creeping beneath the skin
The gritty sand rubbing us raw
Wounds inflamed, bodies blistered
In the sun, moaning
As we wrap around, and around
Each other, like gauze
Too thick, too wet, too broken
Ragged and ripped around the edges
Yet solid and thick in the center
As we jump over waves
Feet leaving the sand
Flying over crests, falling in the troughs
Laughing and crying as our bodies are dragged deeper
The rythm speeding up
Thrusting further and further
The waves roaring louder and louder
Rushing, hurting, loving
Connecting hand in hand
You and me, me
And you
Facing them, facing everything,
as always and forever
Together
