there are holes in the sand because of the hermit ***** but the hermits aren’t nearly as beautiful as these my very solitude is a beauty but i’m the beast i will lay upon this rock at the end of the beach until the shore ***** up and touches me even if the gods above want to scare me with a little water even if the claws pinch me even if the sol water stings me wash my footsteps away evidence of my existance is obsolete i’m but a ghost spiriting amidst the contemporaneity of it all shred my skin away leave them like bones bones after an apocalypse i’m their epilogue the sea is a dog it barks upon the shore it pulls you into a tide of glee it slobbers love in the contours of your face it invites you in, and doesn’t let go.

to the waned ribs of the coast
He creeps near to the foot of my bed With that smirk Oh he's come to cocoon me away to his army Of dented men With cropped souls He asked But never said please To come with him Where it's warm I shook my head He persuaded me But never said please To come with him Where gems trickle down your face I said no He insisted But never said please To come with him Where his home was I refused He forced me But never said please To come with him When a comforting light pierced through my eyes I couldn't see what it was For it was far too beautiful It sheered the man away It was so modest So against the beauty of living Of looking, of tasting It was a stoic; Passionless It was like the water So against the grains of sand Of dirt, of ink It was a stoic; Calm It was so indifferent So against the pull of pleasure Of sin, of feeling It was a stoic; Strong It was like god It was god For nothing Would come close To freeing the devil off the foot of my bed.
