WHY

WHY

caught in undulation

a sand wave of the sea

bathed in sky and waiting

or so it seems to me

wild in ululation

the children footprint the way

the the sea at bottom water

way out in the bay

why is the sand so blue

the sea spittle sit so white

the rise and fall of breathing

for the moon has left its night

happy sad  / sad happy

depending on / its your mood

as each day you walk / retreat

when the sea is at ebb / full flood

be it at slack water 

or be it at full flood

the sea is our blood

she is our feral daughter

unbounded by sand or sky

or our eternal question     WHY
