and so here i am. thoughts full of the sound of
sea
and so much more.
seams bursting and
seemingly seeping into the salt of the land
and
that salty drop of eyes.
woes.

so here i am.
where nothing matters, but yet which ceases to be.
me.

the chronic use of mouthwash in fear of oral flux.
relative to me.
although not chlorine blue..
the
true
one's
green.

like soft blades of grass.

at last.
(it's been days)

my pen's to ink and paper
like wind to waves.
i hear echos, i daydream with long arms of uncertainty like tectonic plates
await ing
movement.
contemplating
the swish and spit...

foamy like the sea shore,
fresh, yet reminiscent..
the scent of

e u c a l y p t u s

the sight of the pale bark-
smooth like sand.

jasmine is cradled by the song of german tongue, a hymn familiar. yet distant.

unknown. toxic. toxic.
tourism.

like the night's dream of diamonds distraught yet accepted because of feelings of must.

so here i am-
laying upside down
awkwardly scribbling the mind's trail-

too fast, yet with dedication-
with thought to go from right to left similar to which the ground i lay-
the air i breathe....

it's how they read.

so here i am-
a day later than expected, a day longer.

i fathom to discover the mind and eye.

i ride the wave with hesitation.
with shame to need to know what will disperse when this wave cUrls.

so here i am-
and my mind doesn't stop-
even when
upside down-

but, here i am.

so here i am..
i'm coming up for air
&
my lungs rise and fall
with the tide.
untied-

if even just for a moment.

listerine free.

so here i am.
