she cried, trying to shake it off

but fear engulfed rationale

i don’t want to be burned

what color are ashes?

can i choose, can you put my body in a chair?

the wind blew a salty breeze across her face

she couldn’t squeeze the tears back in

they rolled

down

down her cheeks and dripped into the dark ocean

she watched the salty tear

plunge into the sea

but behind the deep the sun still rose

how big is one life?

every drop

together

makes a full glass
