Where I Begin

May 7, 2025

A hush between horizon and flame,

where silence stitches salt into skin.

A curve of breath the moon forgot,

where no footsteps ask for return.

Eyes not mine have blinked at her swell—

some called her sand, some sea,

but I knew her before she was named.

Before I was.

There are waves that never touched land,

just held my spine in soft defiance.

There’s a scent that rises

like memory before thought—

sun on green, salt in bloom,

and a hush that knew my name

when I did not.

She is not place,

but pulse.

Not shore,

but thread.

And when days tighten like fists,

I slip—

not away,

but within.

Where nothing asks.

Where all forgives.

Where I begin.

Again.
