Description
The boys are playing,
and I am cringing from these
frigid waters. The grains beneath
my feet have nowhere to go
but everywhere, and I am
tiptoeing between these sandy
mounds and aspiring dunes.
The boys are tackling
and roaring, rolling and
rolling until their bodies
are just sandy creatures
of mirth and glee. The sand
is in my mouth, and Iโm not
sure how it got there.
The waves roll in and
I smell the salty breath,
stinging my nostrils in
the sweetest way. The
water is cold, so cold and
the sun is bright and I am
brighter.

Flawless! ... except perhaps for the title.

Haha, thank you. I struggled a bit with the title, so I guess I picked something generic.

Oh, this is lovely. ย I especially appreciated "The sand / is in my mouth, and I'm not / sure how it got there" -- to say nothing of that brilliant ending! ย Well done! ย

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked that line, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. (:
