'Mirror'
There is a mirror in the tide today. I can see myself for once. I am looking back instead of looking away.
There are seagulls all around me and it seems they are in wonder. In wonder of this woman sitting in their solitude. Are they afraid, or just welcoming?
I look over the calm waters just out past the horizon, this flat line running straight across the vast space.
I see a man standing in a shadow to his own, a platform of mysterious, colorful light blending into his darkness. I think he is looking back at me? He is trying to say something.
I'm not hearing him.
For a brief moment startled, a loud sound, a crashing wave hurling up in front of me...
Blinded for a moment, he is gone.
Empty my heart has left me in this moment. I will never know.
