Beneath the crystal slap
n dash of the waves
our fingertips tap
n shift the shingle
like humping crabs
as they scrabble for pebbles
n miscellaneous shells to remember
or lift home with us
from the shuck of the sun
to a shoebox
holding a scrambled index
to the beaches on which we have heard
the antique drum of the sea
beckoning us
to a reckoning of bones
n skipping stones
that blink over shipwreck n sea-chime
n bubble back to the shores of yore
by the fleshy saltlick of remembered time.
