Oceans

Away from the ocean. 
The antithesis. 
The cold, submerged. 
Desert winds and the darkness of fall

This endless charade mocks my resolve. 
Eager to break away. 
The hot air rises. 
My dried eyes resolute.
No more begging. 

This time. This time I walk away. 
This time I will not turn back
This time I become a pillar of salt.
