Valhalla and the Slap
Before me,
A sandy beach unfolds.
I stepped upon it.
I had no other choice.
The Atlantic waves pause for a moment,
Beckoning to me.
Just like your
Irresistible,
Salty temptation.
It was too sweet.
I look up at the sky.
I look out at the sea.
I look at a woman.
Strolling along the beach for a while,
Someone knocks on my back.
I am no longer on the beach.
A nameless entity,
Drooling,
Cries out:
"At last!
We’ve caught the lord!"
The waves of the sea wink at me.
I softly wink back.
To think the goddess of the sea loved me so!
"Valhalla!"
That was my dream,
Yet the goddess drags me away
To dream a brand new dream.
I cry out,
"Valhalla!"
And she slaps me across the face.
