“…lurching strides in softer sand…”…”Fleet beach,” my poem
working it out…
Fleet Beach
Flaunting, I walk upright in the wind,
the windward shoulder braced against…
it looks like nothing,
but it feels…
I will not stop, but damn!
these lurching strides in softer sand,
I lean toward the firmer band
halfway up this draining slope,
I am not a shuffler!
I say it.
This pace is good…
It’s good enough for now.
