The Black Sand Beach
I was at the very
shoreline
where liquid fire
lapped my feet,
But God
rescued me;
He rescued me.
An amber sea
gaped open
to swallow my limbs and torso,
for the bowels of a worm
awaited my departure
from the sand,
but God
rescued me;
He rescued me.
My eyes were about to dim
in the orange darkness,
as light was about to flee,
but God rescued me;
He rescued me.
My mind was to go extinct
in the flickering foam,
But God rescued me;
He rescued me.
