Waves

Waves march onto the beach

Straight as soldiers,

All in a row,

Smooth the sand,

All in a row,

Smooth the sand,

All in a row,

Smooth the sand.

Watch that wave swooshing in slantwise

Over beyond the rocky jetty,

That’s me. That’s my story.

Countermarch, lift, glisten,

Smash! Against the rocks.
