Tides
Tides
Listen to the Earth
sigh
in
out
high tide
low tide
one brings in gathering of
shells baubles items
for metal detectors to find.
One removes takes back
to ocean deep.
Each tide
in
out
smooths glass
but
sea glass
real sea glass is
only brown
now.
Beer alone and possibly
wine or scattered
shards to be smoothed by
sea and sand.
Tourist places that
sell blue sea glass
Beware
it’s fake.
Listen to water
that
rises
falls.
