i was walking
peacefully
on the beach
and suddenly
there was a
stinging
at my feet.
i looked
down
and saw
the wind pulling
the sand
along
"hurry" said the
wind
in a sort of
wooshing voice.
the sand
went as fast
as it
could go,
stinging
my helpless feet.
sand comets
i told myself.
it felt like
i was on
a different planet
mars maybe?
even the tidal pools
dried up
of the
stinging sand.
