>>Drowning yourself is no picnic.



       Suicides

People on the beach see us
warped beneath water's prism:
a fading green and slight
is the view drowned in time.

We are a host of waves
bubbles and a push of foam
tremor in a silent tide.

The moon rises over hiss
of grey-brown beaches to
silver as an afterthought.

When the lulled sun
lies swollen with gulls,
tourists walk the jetty to gather
a treasure of shells.
