To the beach

I’d take you to the beach
     (let me make it 
     crystal clear),           
but I’m afraid you’d fuck up
     how I like 
     to disappear.

I want to be transparent,
dissolve in
salt in sea,
and not embody
your physical
perception of me.

So if I seem
a little slow
with your invitation,
it’s just me trying
to forget this
entire incarnation.
