I plunge into

frigid icy water

salty

bright with captured sun.

seaweed curls lasciviously

around my ankles as I wade

in the shallows.

I grasp a

handful of pirate treasure

culled from the bottom of the sea.

 

the sand onshore

is hot

and holds buried burning stones

lazy petrified driftwood logs

expired sea kelp.

The Pirate King and I

are dancing

between the water and the waves.
