Cherie Gozon Poet Free verse

At the Shore

Drunk, by the sea I stood
I whispered into the air
“This is it… I’m dying…
With a bottle on my hand.”

Drunk, by the sea I sat
I stared into the sea
Thinking, deeply, of memories
Of anything that’s barely there
Of everything I left
Of nothing, and nothing at all.

Drunk, by the see I scampered
In search for words that seemed lost
Scampering, panting,
I lost ground.

And at my last breath, drunk
I muttered words
I bade goodbye
At the shore.
