Pier

Posted on October 14, 2016 by perfectsublimemasters

sandals stomp
over scattered skittles
& seagulls encircle us

the gathered tides
implore us to
pick a color

within these waves
reflecting
a million skies

parachutes will glide
us downward
to the sand

and blue rises
so slow
we never fully meet
