I wonder if you played here as a child? Did you hunt for treasure shells write your name in shingle snake seaweed around sand kingdoms. Did you ever throw stones into the ocean and watch the ripples as they spread?
Maybe you’d tested yourself before. Feet sunk into the shoreline, sea foaming at your ankles as you made your final choice. Panic or calm, fear or resolve. Nothingness.
I bet the water had never seemed so dark. I hope you numbed quickly limbs silent nerves dull lips salt-fresh and longing for the end.
