If I Close My Eyes
there is a sheeesey sound as water slides
up and around then all through me
as the wave is swallowed by the sand
making clucking sounds as bubbles pop
in a final burp of sandy breath
along the shore all shorn and smoothly worn
from countless liquid sanding strokes
shells and stones are tossed to grind
in a kaleidoscope of nature’s weave of textures
muted hues of earth in harmony with the sea
I wait for the breech of the next wave song
to come and playfully tickle my shins
as the foam dances together with air
that teaches me softness in its evaporated bliss
with closed eyes this memory finds me
