wednesday morning fun w/ ari

last night i dreamt of the sun
the breeze was warm during high tide
the high tide lasted all day
we played volleyball in the sand
the sand was hot
we jumped into pools
filled with boiling salt water
and walked around barefoot
in the shadows of the overpass
we sat on the beach in the sand
while my shoulders burned and became red
the foam and water pushed us further up on the sand
until we were sitting inside a cave on the beach
we sat in the sand, in the cave and watched dozens of whale
species wash up onto the shore,
shrivel up and die
