Beach + Sea Glass

Kathryn Dreams of the Beach

Up and down the shoreline
along the wet traced line of the tide
beeping
beep beeping
Scanning the sand in a circle
The rain from the night before
pushed bits of the life we don’t need
towards the shore
She find them, the bits
beep beep
beep beep beeping
Swinging across the sand
a steady metronome against the waves
Fingers dig into the rain marked sand
until she finds sea glass
hazy but clean smooth and clearly
diamonds
and she drops them into a can
attached at her hip
twinkling
