Low tide
 |
Sarah Penwarden |
Walk beside you
across mudflats in
my blue gumboots,
over crackling oyster
shells,
green ribbed pipe,
the traces of wading birds.
When the tide is out, what lies exposed:
River threads of mud, old brown stones,
tiny muscles yet to grow,
my soul prints left
on the oceans
bones.
