Untitled 1

by Riles (2019; revised in 2022)

I found myself in the same place as before:

Longing to be on the ocean floor—

Meters below the surface—

And no reason to desert it. 


Perhaps I didn't deserve it.


Because the waves... The waves. They were perfect.


You know, this sea was once lonely.

That was until it swallowed me...

Became a place I could be me.


But, alas, I didn't learn from before.


And oh how quickly... How quickly I washed ashore.
