BLACK SANDS
Forsaken coasts, who has tread her black sands?
And allowed her bitter waters to brush upon the feet that is bare.
Bare, vulnerable to the scorched minute pebbles of glass;
That compacts between the toes while you’re on your way, on a mission.

Little masses all in my way,
Even the waters gobble them out from shore,
I still find more and more in my path, all in my way.
I dread treading the never-ending floor the ever-singeing shore,
Don’t… Continue
