Watercolour painting of an isolated beach

Winter Beach

Seagulls sit like white frost
over bleached sands
watching the waves take bite after bite out of an
abandoned shore, ravenous
for watermelon
and beach cricket.

Salted skies scream kids off their lawn,

That shrill ocean air breathes
like stainless steel.

Nothing.

For miles.

Just acid-wash denim
and the hand-stitched seam of a horizon line,
barren of any leaves.
