I saw you and was conquered

August 4, 2020August 4, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

I saw you
and was conquered
sand defences between the tidelines
inevitably washed away

the guilty moon reflected
on the convex waves
the concaves between each hinting trouble
foam on the beach my and their undoing

castles on the cliff edge
slipped to nothing
I saw you
and was conquered
