The crash of the breaking surf
It was as if God had fallen off the wave as well
The waters cold as ever

Wading in the shallows with the surf
Amongst the archipelago

Icy waters flowed over his shoes

My last ice cool breath joined the steam
The brine seaweed; rubbery
Amid a myriad of barnacles
Hovered a torso
