NaPoWriMo 4/17 "Warriors Part 1"
We believed we were warriors
until the day we fought the Ocean.
At first, we thought we beat it but
brief retreat is only its nature;
It surged back, nearly drowned us.
Soggy, exhausted,
salt stinging our eyes,
we wept salt water
into salt water
amid ruined battlements made of sand.
