Who Is She?

I sit alone

at a bar in a tiny beach town.

no one knows me here,

I find it quite comforting

and I order a whiskey.

I escaped the cold here,

the weather and the feeling.

it’s funny isn’t it?

what a little distance does

in not only miles,

but time.

I felt the sun on my skin today,

it penetrated deeply and

I could just feel it

reawakening my soul.

that almost killed me.

that. almost. killed. me.

but… it didn’t

so now I’m figuring it out while

I sit alone

at a bar in a tiny beach town.
