all the colors blending into white
a southern sun sending down her light
on me lying between the dunes
adorning myself with borrowed plumes

forseeing the future out of the past
a lucky streak that obviously won't last
my body hit by another cold wave
me standing in the shallow water, safe

wiggling my feet out of the algae
trying to drag me into the deep sea
I step forward to the shimmering beach
pondering departure and arrival each
