Beachcombing

by Douglas Smith / March 18th, 2018

A message from the sun –
if all is one
then I am done

Amber is the drug
that helps the bug
end its struggling

The blind elephant
lays its trunk
on the arm of a cow

In a fleeting world
naught to grasp but
this ball point pen

Writing in wet sand –
scribbles interspersed
with swirling surf
