Broken Beach

these silken strings
have been stretched t a u t
cleaved into
a bungee cord
dipping me into abysmal pleasures
only to pull me
back
with sibilant force
leaving infinitesimal pieces of me
on each ride
for the tides to purge
onto shore

these grains of sand you walk on
shards of broken hearts
same shades, same color
of �your infidelity
drunken �mistakes�
swept forth
tear
by
tear
to fill the sea

your bare toes leave their mark on this beach
jubilant, basking in the sun
fingers interlocked
as you spin new silk
around another

you may get � cut
or luck may stick
for another round
