i stand there, barefoot and bareboned in my kitchen. you are all we have, i say, begging him not now, not yet. not this. you are all we have left. he puts his head in his hands and looks a little more grey. i close my eyes to all of this. to him and the kitchen sink. i close my eyes, landlocked, and all i hear is the ocean. stormy waters pulling me closer. closer. i want to disappear. bleach my skin in salted waters, and just disappear. feel nothing. feel anything but this. but i open my eyes and breathe out. 
and the tides fall back, fade back
into silence. hills, valleys and silence.
