Wry

I am so bland, parched

and dry; I sleep in

the sands where the

sea laps and strands

of death wrap the depths

of ocean in my mind.

::

I asked the moon for tides

but waves keep

crashing near; I am

tired afraid aching sleeping {slight said}

“leave me

alone

my darling…

I’m okay;

I’m dying,”

and slowly

silently

blinding.

My Dearest,

This upsidedown-thing’s

not working

in me,

I’m

so

right

and I can’t

stop.
