Waves, waves washing the sand away

ragged rocks scattered over the beach. I try to collect 

them but they're out of reach.

Sea salt storms up my nostrils like a speed boat,

as I walk to the glistening sea I hear it call my name.

The grains of sand drown my feet,

sharp shells  pierce my toes.

Birds squawk louder than a horn,

fish swim into a hard current,

bull ants dig deep holes.

As I leave, the sea waves good bye.
