The Sea | Francesca Lyons

The sea is a puppy
clashing its jaws
up and down the beach.

Its jaws clash against the water
rolling here and there.

The droplets rain through the air
like sparkling sun spots.
He runs away and returns to attack
once it’s got energy back.

It barks and barks
with all its might.
With all its might it gnaws
through fishers’ hooks
and the waves.

“Bark bark,” goes the wind.
It splashes hard.

Day after day
the puppy chomps through the beach happily.
The fur sparkles as white as it can.

The puppy jumps over the sea wall
gnawing it down with all its strength.

It crashes, smashes rocks
under its swirling fur.
