Sea, you look at it you search for
a word
Waves strike the reefs

You move back from the edge
Don't get your new shoes wet

Seawater ruins leather
The state of your new shoes worries you
almost as much as the word that slips away
with the foam

Your eye swallows up the wide expanse of sea
and you feel satisfied
maybe slightly uneasy on account of the spray
or cracks
You are not kitted out for a walk…
