“Mind Over Matter”

“Mind Over Matter”

close my eyes

can hear the gull

and children squealing

and palms swaying

and coolers closing

and umbrellas opening

and my heart beating

can feel the coal on my feet

and still I lie down

and welcome the pain

then rivers of relief

in the fingertips of foam

I swim in the sea

taste the salt on my lip

and float away

from shore

human no more
