freckle

it was a special time
because when you are down that deep
time moves like trying to pour vaseline.
the line was coarse
grandpa's beard
from years of use--
pushing its way into my ankle.
i settled in for the long last night
as the pressure built.
the porcelain night shimmered through the surface
of the sea
down to me
