The volatile sea churns
Pounding delicate grains
Of seaworthy sand
At water’s edge
Palpable surges of the
Seas finest blue-green mix inch forward
A caressing flow of the sea’s heartiness
Travels up bony ankles
Leaving them taught like a stretched band
Energized by the melding of sea and salt
I run-on hard-pressed sand
It is gummy and thick like fresh poured concrete
I indulge in nature\'s largest aquarium
Submerged, the shoreline is no longer believable
I tumble on the ocean floor with gray speckled fish
Wondering if they tire from perpetual motion
A school of pink, gelatinous jellyfish skirt around
Dolphins pose midair
A shot of salty sea rushes in my mouth
Lukewarm and putrid
Wrapped like a burrito in my shrinking orange towel
I make strides to maneuver dunes unending
The day, seaworthy
