for a moment
on the shore
with the sun in my eyes
i can hardly see the bodies
in the water
was it worth it?
the blood runs warm and then cold
like the currents
and i am dragged by the moon
with the tide
am i a memory?
there is salt on my face
from the sweat and the tears
and there is salt in my lungs
from the sea
i wonder if this is home.
