On a Summer Day

Poem

Photo by Gessy Alvarez

Sharing this beach with many humans

every single one thinking living playing sinking

levitating under the sun

I am confronted by my ordinary existentialism

by the surreal awareness of a solitary mind

humming to an idiosyncratic ringing

as the waves wash over the pain

the triumphs

stealing my sight my smell my sound

back to the sea
