The Seashore’s Softer Side
by
Joan Kantor


Next
 
San Jose del Cabo, Baja California, MX



As the ocean tumbles and crashes
I'm drawn to flecks of glittering gold
in the damp squish
of cotton candy sand
at my feet
 and to lacy fingers of foam
      silently spreading out
            while swiftly sinking in
                   to the softness
                          of fast fading shadows
