after the rain
tide out
the sea
a sliver of mauve silk
in the distance
sand pockmarked
with footprints
like paintbrush stipples
a mishmash of patterns
naked to the sky
all pastel hues blended
with a slippery finger
ultramarine
into a violet yawn
into a lavender blush
into an apricot kiss
the mellow slosh of water
chatter
sun setting
as a pinkish glimmer
slithers over the beach
tide out
the sea
a sliver of mauve silk
in the distance
sand pockmarked
with footprints
like paintbrush stipples
a mishmash of patterns
naked to the sky
all pastel hues blended
with a slippery finger
ultramarine
into a violet yawn
into a lavender blush
into an apricot kiss
the mellow slosh of water
chatter
sun setting
as a pinkish glimmer
slithers over the beach
