Crash

by pearls-of-white

I sit still and watch With eyes sharp enough to cut As the grey ocean foam Crashes on the sea wall Hundreds of black stones All with difference and irregularity Stacked layer upon layer upon layer Now wet, but still greatly unwashed I sit on the edge And look down on my feet I scrape the callouses on stone The sea foam washes but doesn't clean I watch as the ocean turns black My feet kicks the relentless foam The stone wall remains intact So I crumble in its place The sea drags me out I drink the abysmal drink I sway to the whims of a lonely moon I crash on a wall of indifference and regularity
