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.
