There was crying
from beneath the sand.
It stretched as wide
as the coast. You could hear
them each time
the sea withdrew
and took away
hushed sighs. It was coarse
like sand.
I held the hand of my girl,
not any tighter.
Her smile seemed
the only true thing.
She stood deep in the sand,
and breathed everything in.
