[theburdened]

stand next to me with open arms and stretched eyelids,
offer our bodies a sacrifice to the sea.
when the lightness of a feather
is heavier than the weight of your soul,
rest assured you are peace
and you have found your way home.
the sand on our skin will scrub away the shame,
the engraved memories of pain.
and the sounds of the greedy world behind us
won't be heard underwater and above earth.
