SHORE
by Michael FitzGerald 


Level down to the wet flats
And feel the edge of an island sink
Where soft skin breaks 
Away from the hard town

People like little pegs in the sand
Wakes caressed and erased 
Just a glimmer of the vast
A breath of curve and haze

Come dawdle with man
With his slapping and tears
And his flapping kagool
His precious few years
