My Cheeks Hurt From Smiling
Swaddle me
like a mother
hug me
like no other
let me believe
momentarily
something
else
exists
Sea shells
on a sea floor
become sand
and fade back
into this
empty
shit
Life
I can see you
but what
do you
feel
like?

on a sea floor
become sand
and fade back

Ashes to ashes, but what comes next? Another plane of existence or nothingness? Enjoy being seashell, it may be nothingness... deep imagery! JJ
