Toes in the Sand

I like walks on the beach

beaches in the cold are

more welcoming to me

more welcoming because

they are void

of people heat and sweat and yelling and radios and smoke and babies and diapers and rainbow umbrellas and suntan lotion that sticks to your palms and all you are left with

on the cold winter beach is

the sparse beauty of the stinging salty air

the cold fierce smell of it

and the sheen of the sparkling water

and sand endless sand

welcoming

you into the silent cold stinging salty clean beauty of the world.
