Oceanside

today i found myself walking along side the ocean
in a conversation without words

following the breath of the sea
as it exhaled softly onto the shore
and inhaled loudly onto itself
to the crash of white foam
and the sounds of the wind rustling through the trees

i forgot straight lines

the weight of each step
glowing white and light for a few second
before returning to a heavy brown

together we contemplated
vastness
depth
utility
pleasure
and the power of the moon

grateful for my hair
which danced on invisible streams
obstructing my view

these strong gusts of wind carried us along
rushing us toward an inevitable end
that i didn’t want to see
