Stingy on the legs – ouch!
Jump! Slippery, slidey, gliding on the dune.
Soft, bubbly, bending relief.
Cool, calming, searing on feet.
Squidgy, sinking, toes disappearing.

Subsiding waves… push and pull.

Dreamy sea mist, rocking, incoming.
Parting hydrogen.
Mud prawns, tiny bubbles.
Blowholes creep under petite fantasies.

Quicksand!
Stamp! Stamp!
Escape!

Grit in the mouth.
Salty, tasty.
Hot, oh!
Hot on the skin, sting.
Slap cream.
Run, run, run.
No breath left.
Patterns and lines, horizons.
Trickles of sand,
Man-made castles.

Avalanches, folds.
Horizontals, verticals.
Cliff hangers!

Dingy, splash, splash.
Oar, oar, dunk.
Release!
Gasp, guttural, face plant.
Belly flop.

Undone…
Delicious, fleshy, shady
leaves.
Drink deep, nearly spin…

Hot lips, towel curls…
So. Do. Toes.
Fall down, sink into the
ground.

Squeal, reveal.
Cracks and crevices.
Sandy holes.
Doodles on the spongy
sand.
Wild and one.
