This Mourning on the Beach

In darkness I arose mid-morning

Flushed away in the salted rain.

It dripped upon my burning flesh

Every second the sadist marked me.

My nostrils attacked with chlorine

Broken shells painted my steps

The screaming of my memories

Haunted by A.M. visions

Love will not be a witness here

Tragedy drowned by isles of rum

In the county of crows of old flagship.

We were met with resistance.

Waiting the day for a drink

The alcohol ebbs and flows

Washing away in a murmur of regrets

How the shallows held the footsteps of memorance.

Etchings of footprints.

The sand remembers every one.

I sent my signal above the mountains

The salt stretched across my mind’s eye

I walked the rivers gone. Oceans riddle my conscience.
