III. The Shore
I imagine your life on the other side of the world :as death
how the sunlight presses softly against skin as you walk :slowly disappearing
seashell seaweed jetsam-peppered sand :is another place of absence
stepping softly so as not to break skin :although it is inevitable that
You: contemplating shoreline stones :will forget me
carefully selecting one suitable for sitting, then: sitting :as close to the end as possible
now: drawing legs up encircling them with arms :freckled
a socially acceptable self-hug :meant for me.
