Hey Cleo

You lie by the sea
like a sarcophagus
hands folded across your chest
with all your worldly goods scattered
at your feet in tribute.
The gold of your skin sits solid-
it frames your face in heavy light.
All still and silent
the ocean waits for you to wake.
I settle into the sand thinking
it would be no good to be alone
in the eternal secondlife.
