Receding
April 10, 2014
My hair whips my face
Stinging my eyes
Causing them to tear up
I watch the sand and the water
How they mix
The ocean drags the land to its mouth
Then spits it back out
Almost as if it was repulsive
The sand is pulled from beneath my feet
I sink farther and deeper
As more sand disappears
And my feet reach quicksand
I don't panic
I stare out into the sea of nothingness
The tide rises
And my hair is whipped around my neck
