On the Beach In Sandusky

On the beach in Sandusky, a woman collapsed to retire her body at the edge of Lake Erie, under the awning of a cerulean sky. The waves reached out to heal her because I was never that kind. She will be more useful at her resurrection after sleep closed her lazy brown eyes. The world had left her, I was gone 4 steps, but my conscience ... My heart walked through shrubs and razor bumps. Not that I want to. I was seduced by this cause of injury to our children. It was enough for the world to see via social media. So, June 15th, 2009, I became Shem and Japheth; I took a towel, laid it across my children's shoulders, telling them to walk leeward and hide their mother's nakedness.
