Just visible in the distance

He stares
A woman makes her way
Walking briskly away from the

Bedroom door swings right idly
An eye, wide open
Dennis jolts upright, human shape
Wet footprints on the floor
Front door hangs open
Dennis makes his way briskly along

A figure, waste deep in the morning surf
He continues out onto the bench
Dennis reaches the bench and stops
His breathing ragged

A tentative step and then another
He is waste deep in water
A hand takes him
He wades on
