I think,
it's time to go
back home on land.
I leave the waters,
step out of the blues,
before I could drown.
I sink,
each foot entirely
in the sand.
Rooted in place,
the fine grains
anchor me down.
I ink,
your name on
the back of my hand.
I know it well,
and tell my pages:
I love you now.
to lsy; sometimes on the beach, when the sand is warm and makes me yawn, i sleep. i know i can rest on land.
