Backwards over sand
By Stacks Poets

Walking on sand
backwards
heels to the future
or
toes in the soft mud
of last week;
recreated every other
step but
still arriving with
what was
and a fresh imprint
settling in to
catch
the flailing crab
in the sun.
Written in response to exercise for 8th September.
