a driving melancholy

Blasts of wind rock the small dock. Sneakers step assuredly across wobbling wooden planks. Ripples of water glance at the wood, roll away towards the Sound.

Keep going -

walking -

How would skin feel in dark green-blue water mid-March - good, yes - and the smelling salt of sea putting all thoughts to sleep, waking touch sensation and breathing and ears - closing eyes -

Open eyes versus water now, so much water to fall into becoming a part of a driving melancholy beat in the ears -

But eyes win, moving slowly but lucidly. They shift back towards sand towards solid.

Not now.

Not now.

(This is
nonfiction.)
