her heart gave out
on the beach
he could not see for dreaming.
eyes exhausted,
legs akimbo.
dreaming.
sandy broken bottles
mixing seaweed to cerveza
cut my calluses underfoot
on a night with no moon.
fragrant bonfire remnants
drifting afterglow of yesteryear
are no match for the odor
of hospital waste on the tide.
my mind gave out
on the beach
she could not see for dying.
breath deflating,
eyes in wonder.
never more.
