i watched the ocean
a remnant of light burning my nape
as i decide to look towards the inky sea
everything shrouded in darkness
yet still, i take it all in
feel the sand beneath my toes
smell the salt in the ocean breeze
and i shiver as frigid waters touch my skin

the waves
pull me in
like a warm embrace

they take me places ive never dreamed of
whispers in my ears

sloshing in my head
swishing in my head
my brain swimming in seawater
turning into seafoam.
