Coconuts

I feel the wet sand ooze between my toes as I stroll along the shore Splashing lightly through the ebbing sea water Golden sand reflecting the intense sunlight Creating a subtle mirage in the distance A thick tree line is only yards from the shore I look in wonder at the tall palm trees with their coconuts high above Imagining someone getting hit on the head while sleeping underneath A somewhat likely scenario Laughing at the immature thought as they don't die, only a slight headache I reach a fallen tree, which juts out from the tangled vegetation Startled when I see a naked foot I don't think I need to see this I say to myself as I uncontrollably move forward Place my hands on the trunk as I peer over A man, a corpse definitely, lays twisted on the other side A large hole in his skull Hungry birds I assume have eaten brains Clearly no more are inside A coconut did not cause this.
