State lines get blurry
time changes and missed calls
uncomfortable conversations and silences
pity keeps company
true fondness
people walk past, I’m still
sinking into dry sand
you think you know the beaches
but when it’s time to lay the towel down
little crabs pinch your toes
and dead jelly fish can still sting
zapped back to concrete
that’s why you don’t bring
old rocks in your pockets to your favourite beach.
