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!
