NZ & Me: The Sea Before The Storm

9/19/2012

Fully Fractured

Grains of sand remain
after tide but before rain.
With the beach in tact,
comes the final act
of the sea's theatric refrain.

Fully fractured shells
echo what the wave compels.
Their form well known
like a wishbone
that splits between the swells.

Fragments now are found
here on the sandy ground.
Where tide is vexed
the rain comes next
for yet another round.
