A Day At the Beach

the ecstasy of toes waifing the imaginary winds lapping waves I am in heaven drowning or flying who knows the dreams the real and then the drill a hole in the frozen ground telling nothing but a little girl with wings to protect the sand castle with a bathing suit full of anchovies as the tunas chased them to the shore weirding the silver sea i looked at the dolphins and jump the last surf to rub their fins fighting the rip tide to come ashore and the last wave swallowing the moat of protection from a day of fun and survival.

Catherine, this poem is remarkable for its high-speed flow of stirring images. Reading it made me feel I was there. You're excellent at making words and sentences "march." Thanks for sharing.
