To Wash My Hands

I left to wash my hands today

And rid myself of the sun's cruel rays

I walked into the strongest waves

No one saw, so I couldn't be saved

The water rose up from my knees

Until it began to fill my cheeks

Salt in my lungs, I couldn't breathe

And by then at last my hands were clean
