*Salty

like a damp sail

blowing in the wind,

you sometimes
wring yourself dry.


And when the tears
sprinkle droplets onto your face 
and salts you more than the sea

the ebb and flow
comes in waves of heaviness 
that blur eyes

until you are weak...


and finally
purged
of all things 
held back
and never said
and never felt
and never admitted
and never allowing
because being human,

is wanting to float 

and so,
you stand on shore
and wait 
because you know that
inevitably
you´ll sink.
