Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

adrift and home and dry

I don’t serve u
u don’t get it ~ ~
~~
low tide slows ~~ rolls me
in ~~ sand ~~ slugged
dry
sun
dry

slug in sand fried
lapped again ~~
~~
cool licks taste my hide ~
raw ~~
flesh ~~~
torn ~~
sewage rocked to ~
fro ~~ crest ~~~
dive ~~
~
~
~
on the white caps ride ~~~~~
carried to the horizon  ~~~~~
cry
u don’t own me  ~~~~~
i serve no one  ~~~~
not the moon  ~~~
not the sun ~~
in surf ~

drown

high is bottom
is alone
is the middle
of a sea called nowhere

beautiful
free
lonely
dark

the full glow
on my face
finds me here

~ ~
~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ ~
here we go again
~~~~~  ~~~~~  ~~~~~
eternity
is a sea
~~~~~  ~~~~~  ~~~~~
~~~~~  ~~~~~  ~~~~~
constantly
hauling me
~~~~~  ~~~~~  ~~~~~
~~~~~  ~~~~~  ~~~~~
~~~~~  ~~~~~  ~~~~~
back
before your eyes
~~~~~  ~~~~~  ~~~~~ 
~~~~~  ~~~~~  ~~~~~
no surprise
~~~~~  ~~~~~  ~~~~~
i can’t hide

It’s living, a
