yesterday

i dipped my toes in the ocean
scaled rocks barefoot
cut my foot on a barnacle
erudite into summer

i saw a seagull skip triumphant over waves
his new catch dangling from his beak
and gave a sand crab a proper burial

with my feet under water i heard
'wow. she's so brave'.

    [i wanted to leave this on sd. but apparently you're no longer on there.

    i was too self-centered to tell you this before.

    but i'm so sorry i hurt you.
