It slips away,
turning the damp hand sour,
loosening the pebbles where
once your feet were planted,
it comes to collect them,
one by one,Drawing out the memory of you,
with the cold and painful wash
of the morning surf.

Bereavement
It slips away,
turning the damp hand sour,
loosening the pebbles where
once your feet were planted,
it comes to collect them,
one by one,Drawing out the memory of you,
with the cold and painful wash
of the morning surf.
