yesterday/today
yesterday
I was walking barefoot
ice cream dripping down my hand
chocolate, my favorite
summer wind blew the hair in my face
seven and carefree
I go to the beach just to
curl my toes in the sand
today
I don’t walk barefoot,
my toes sheathed with socks and shoes
burdened with exhaustion
the future seems bleak
my hair hangs limp
my hands, dry
17 and tired
I go to the beach
to escape my life
to drown my sorrow.
