sometimes i hate mewhen i die,
i want to become the beach.
my skin will burst into sand
that knows just how to sing
and i'll exchange my blood
for clear lake water
with nothing to hide.
swap my bones for driftwood
with all the rough edges
i never could reach sanded
down and weathered away.
take apart my very dna
and string me out, unraveled.
make of me seaweed.
and as the final touch

Drink The SeaTonight, after your medicines
capsize you, after you sink
into the churning depths of sleep,
I am going to walk down
to the shore of the sea,
down past the white sand dunes,
down past sandspur and panic
grass, down to the dark wet.
Whatever chemical dreams

against the soaking sand
and crash headlong into the surf.
I'm going to open my mouth
as wide as it will go,
and let the ocean rush in.
I'll drink deep, swallow gallons
and gallons of sea and shells
and galleons rotting under the waves.
All the humpbacked whales
and shark-stuck suckerfi
Hope everyone is doing well. <3
