PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

“shoreline glint”

a silver sprawl collects beneath my footfall

chips of oyster shell and phosphate light

a gull’s call splitting horizons

my shadow arcs like a question

broken on pale sandstone

I gather fragments—salt-scoured glass,

a mosaic of unsaid farewells

pause:

the ocean’s edge holds nothing

and everything

.
