Sandals beneath the Shore
A single sandal is a young boy waiting
still, hopeful for dad by the backdoor
a fishing rod and promise of September
Another left sandal beneath the shore
A single sandal is a new mother sobbing
stillborn, heaven, so sorry, we can’t do more
mouths move without hearing, nothing is clear
Another left sandal beneath the shore
A single sandal is an old woman grieving
still somber now as decades before
when teenage love drowned the river
Another left sandal beneath the shore
