Text: on fine white grains

from ashleycapes, 08.10.09

is it obvious – that first shiver
toes and water
jumping,
slow waves
capsizing a soft drink can
beneath flickers of dawn

that I like it here, this kind of place
empty but of one booming
voice,
and the faintest shadow
of ships on the horizon

is it obvious that even little
corpses of crabs
hold some thin magic
here?

Thanks Gabrielle! I seem to be attracted to debris of all sorts when I'm out walking!
