Wriggly toes,
My feet in warm sand
I find a stranger’s trail
Footsteps, keen and deep,
Etched with moist tears of the sea ,
Glass bottles and mossy bread crumbs.
I walk by this new absence.
The feet seem large,
But the strides match.
Not for long.
Between friends and enemy
The stranger.
The waves have claimed
A momentary companion.
They’ve spared me.
Maybe next time,
I will follow.
