Last Sunday I was sitting against a tree by a river. Thinking.
A girl walked onto the shore and undressed. She didn't see me.
Believing she was another stupid skinny-dipper, I didn't change that.
She picked up a few rocks, walked into the river and didn't come up.
Shit, I thought. Just shit.
I picked up her clothes and took them home in my backpack.
All that shows a girl walked into the river, now, is fading footprints and a bloated body on the riverbed.
She will be forgotten.
But for now, she haunts my closet and lurks in the darkness just out of sight.
This shall fade and begone.
