DUSK

Glittering grains, varied hues

Ripples of silver, flickering blues

Waves caress the footprints

And dissolve them into oblivion.

The setting sun reflects a dazzling red

A reminder of the times we had

The sea embraces them again

Wrenching from my feet

Sheet after sheet

And leave me high and dry.

Sweet memories gush through

The swell crashes

Against the sea wall – tough

Yet vulnerable. Strong

And confident it stands

Guarding the city of tears

Never faultering

Smothering

Suffocating

Yet sapient.

How long will the bulwark

Stand? Snipers take their mark

And vultures clean their beaks

The sun sets and the sky is

Splashed with purple streaks.
