to walk across the shingle bank

at low tide is possible



watch them



the current is strong

screaming at the cold



#soverycold.

near the private bits



the young go first breaking the air with hints

and sharper cracks  urging  brothers         on



elders have sticks, hold hands, help

each other



cross safely



their dogs leap over with only the sound of water



at low tide only
