At the seawall        

Jessica McKinney-Land, 2023

 

 

I step up to the seawall

bend forward

and feel the spray

from the lapping waves

CRASH

                        recede

crash

                                    recede

crash

                        recede

CRASH

 

crashing to a rhythm only the rocks

which create the shore

seem to understand.

Pinpricks of spray

on my arms and chin-

brine and mineral

carried on the breeze.
