!tow\n\n//[[march 2012|one]]//
When I close my eyes, \nit's winter again on the [[beach,|two]]
and the dark grey waves are [[calling us home.|three]]
The sand is whipping through the air, \ngetting into my [[eyes.|four]]
There was one brave [[child|four2]]
trying to sculpt [[a wall|five]]
to surround the body of a dead [[sea bird,|six]]
but the wind kept toppling his [[piles|six2]]
onto the scattered [[feathers|six3]]
so he left in [[frustration.|seven]]
Now, there is no one on the beach \n[[except us,|eight]]
and you are standing ankle-deep and naked in the writhing [[surf.|nine]]
"The undertow is sucking at my feet," you say, \nwindmilling your arms to keep [[upright.|ten]]
"Here goes nothing," you [[say,|eleven]]
and you [[drop.|twelve]]
[[~|twelve2]]
When I open my eyes, you are no longer \nnaked and in front of [[me,|thirteen]]
and winter has [[melted away.|fourteen]]
There is still sand in my [[shoes|fifteen]]
and the wind still carries your breath across [[the water.|sixteen]]
[[...|end]]
