Write my name on the sand
of a beach which is
notorious for its violent waves.
Write my name along the shoreline
from the tip of your big toe,
my name that cannot leave your lips
my name that no one can know.
Write it on a day when
the storms hit the ocean,
when the rain, too, is the most merciless.
Write it once and watch it being washed away
slowly
like I have been slowly erased.
When the sand takes the shapes of the waves and
pretend as if nothing had ever
existed besides its
ability for umpteenth fresh starts -
look for yourself in it
and move on from my name.
