Tepid laps of water
that the sunset has colored black
sift through the still-warm sand
that I am nestled in. The stars
are out; I am alone.

Elucidate me, earth: tear
my flesh and give it to the grains
and pull me with the receding 
fluid. Make my mind lucid 
to the flow.

A mosquito meets my elbow
and as it departs I involuntarily
reach out in an extending
red pimple. I cannot be still
yet.
