Sea Shores And Toes Slipping In The Shoal Poem by John Tansey

Sea Shores And Toes Slipping In The Shoal

Rating: 5.0


Remembering birthdays at the beach:
wormholes
drawing you backward
with the undertow,
your feet still in the surf,
the sand rushing between your toes

As you look up to watch
the ever-widening expanse of the past,
moving fast before you,
and you grow smaller, a boy
snorting the olfactory senses of childhood
when you still believed...

Hearing, once again, your mother call to you
