the salt within

like tears full of toxins
years of sadness laid bare
like the tang of vinegar on my tongue 
eating chips in the park with him.
like hot muggy air full of fish
dirt piling on my face from fresh feelings
like the sand in the corners of my toenails
its little grains on your pillow.
like your mood on a full moon night 
my mood on a full moon night
shall we give in to the salt within ?
