OOJ: Standing Tall on Ocean Beach

ocean beach, san francisco

i love the body language of these two kids: strong, wide stance, arms open, ready to receive what the ocean has to offer. i watched them for about half an hour- they spent most of the time screaming, running from the incoming surf, etc., but there were moments when they simply stood their ground and welcomed the day.

OOJ: Ocean Beach

ocean beach, san francisco, ca

take from me:
food
sex
family
love

leave me with my memories
sharp-edged images of the ones i love most
flashing in front of my eyes in a looping reel

return me to the ocean on a night with a crescent moon
let the relentless waves claim me
rub away skin, tissue, bone until i am foam

then i can 
rest.
