Tide Pool

 

My gumboots shift carefully underneath me,

avoiding life hidden amongst sand and stone.

I lean my head against the cool grey and

suddenly the Periwinkle turn skyscraper, 

fragile spirals silhouetted against clouds

held in needle-pointed certainty.

I whisper my secrets to a city 

that emerges at my humming

and leave them to drown in the tide.
