Sink your feet in it
Let it sift between your toes
What sand was made for
A coarse, fine contradiction
You are not soon forgotten

Does it hail at sea
Over your icy domain
Bereft of love's warmth
I don't wish it upon you
But I wonder all the same
2024.6
Little wet kisses
Carried on a salty sigh
I'm lost on the beach
Where the foam's between my toes
And there's a hole in my heart
2024.5
Bob in the water
A gentle tug on the line
She's taken the bait
But this pond is forbidden
Today, we're fishers of men
2024.4
Warm sand 'tween my toes
A naked sun to gaze at
My little island
There is peace in the breeze here
Better alone than lonely
2024.3
Many years later
The salty air on my tongue
Brings back memories
The waves and the setting sun
Your lips and their melody
2024.2
The water was still
And the skies were clear and blue
When it went over
A bruised heart over the rails
Lost to the Siren's soft song
2024.1
The Siren sings here
A sweet and lively number
That excites the crowd
But there's ice under the waves
She sings not for you or me
T-006
A bit underlip
Victim of proximity
But rooted in place
Instead relies on neighbors
To be more gentle next time

Dancing in the milk
As it pours over the Earth
All pitter-patter
A bowl of damp cereal
Cushions the stage underfoot
