ship wreck

Ship wrecked she waded where the waves pushed her to
the storm still poking her in the back, the salt water
still clinging to her eye lashes, solidifying into grains of sand
caking her cheeks like a second layer of skin
Any port will do, she told me
But when I went to leave she held on to my wrist
and smiled with uncertainty
