more of us than scribbled on bathroom walls

she lives

she pauses in her
step down from that
balcony overlooks the
waves crash against her
pearly feet slip on the crunchy
gravel scrapes her cheek and the tip of
her chin protrudes when she fails to stay
awake

she dwells in prolonged
blinks dismiss glimpses through
the window shatters into jagged
remnants sway in wind and
water flows off the tips of
her toes greedily drink yellow
rays cast upon her their day
dream

she races with
her palms in the
air bares its gritty
teeth sharply bites
her skin readily swallows the
sweet breeze whispers unlinked
letters travel listlessly through
her ears yearn to listen to the
gentle sensation plants itself in
her tired mouth stretches its
parched lips assure her wistful
mind thinks it was a good
night
