The Sea Slides [a poem]

The sea slides along the beach,

pushing and pulling. The white froth

gathers, settling on the sand littered

with broken shells, kelp, and the cracked

half-eaten carcasses of crabs. The deep note of

the fog horn covers the rhythmic rushing of the waves.

A seagull cries. The horizon stretches on.
