i walk along the shoreline
filled with the familiar need to disappear
the emptiness beckons me
it plays its rushing melodies
temptation drawing me in
shame pushing me out
crouching forward
i press my palms into the earth
cool and damp
beside the water i now lay
i pull myself in closer
curled up so tightly
i dissolve into sand

shame pushing me out

i press my palms into the earth

beside the water i now lay
i pull myself in closer
curled up so tightly
i dissolve into sand
