BEACHCOMBER by GEORGE JAMES MICHALOPOULOS

First Line: YOU LOOK SOFT ON THE EDGE OF THIS SEA
Last Line: WATER AT OUR FEET.
Subject(s): BEACHCOMBERS;
You look soft on the edge of this sea
When, each night, you pull the
stars, seemingly on strings,
low and talk with me in
a language tinkling
in its flow.

At night the waves beat the many times
hurled dunes, making brittle shore
flowers shudder, at night they
sweep in like the long,
silent glide of some bird
on taut wings.

We sit by this sea and the wind shakes
the flowers at our backs and the
water at our feet.
