The Sunspots of Summer Outbreak

I’m twisted into submission; admission to true world of imaginary breeze and coconut salt. I’m a seed, slipping into sand, letting go. The wild sea’s crest and trough didn’t swallow me, silence me - my thoughts. Roots, a muse - rest and recreate; drudge baggage ditched at shore. The dunes spoil me with their grit and pink hydrangeas. Sunglasses recover my eyes; sunburn writhes on my skull. Hair in free fall, snarled and damp, like anemones. An assault of coconut breeze in true world; admission into twisted submission of relaxing waves. The sunspots of Summer outbreak. I bring pail and shovel. I shore up castle, today, midst whirlpool of moat. The true world tries to interfere, as I splash cruel eyes. My hands and feet completely disappear…left - write!
