grates against my brain
like sea sand
on the sensitive soles
of my sunburned feet.
The feelings overwhelm me,
pushing me over the edge —
I sink, seeking solace
within the quiet depths
of the ocean.
The silence engulfs me
as the water caresses
my inflamed limbs,
cooling the burn,
softening the noise,
until I am no longer
a body in pain
but a fading echo.
It claims me —
not as treasure,
but as absence,
a name unspoken
in the world above.
And in that vanishing,
I find relief
~S~
