Subject: ET: old-ish poem i edited

silence scares me
she said
and birds cried loud
change frightens me
she said to him
and the sand stopped
eroding
but in the bird calls she heard
death
and her sand castle
washed away.
seaweed trails listlessly
without her.

i want the sun
she said one day
and the clouds parted
i want heat
she said
and the winds paused
i want your warmth
she said
but he walked away.
she huddled in a towel
as the day
grew overcast again.

i want numb
she said to the wind
the wind tried to bloew her mind away
i want cold
she said to the water
the water tried to cover her
and she thanked it.
i want to be a frozen body
face down
on the sand
she said
and he
held her hand while he held her under

the wind howled a dirge
and the waves crashed
mournfully.
- -otherwise silent-
