Sister Sea
Lodged in limestone, coral white
ridges of shells lay bleached out bright
Starfish vermilion limp with life
thrown to the sea by my hand's hindsight
Seaweed adornment for the frothy shore
Slick to my foot print's salty core
You, starfish limp, with a book in one hand
sunflower seeds scattered, shells in the sand
Clouds so low they touch the gulf
If I stood on my tip toes I could reach them myself
The moon pulls the tide to avoid a flood
Salt water runs through my veins for blood
There’s nowhere else I would rather be
than with you at the beach, my sister sea.
