One bright morning
the sea was eerily quiet
a cloud of smell began to color the air
as an amphitheater of sunbathing corpses emerged
lying on the incline like children put to sleep
casualties of another hangover,
the only evidence of a night no one remembers
No one but the sea,
who has tried to wash it all away in shame.
As survivors begin to pick up the pieces
one of them has written into the sand
the date and time
of the next crime
