Her Voyage East

The Surfers who wait a lifetime for that one faultless wave

Who spend an infinite amount of time waiting, drowning and fighting compared to seconds skimming their unreliable surfaces

The dog who leaps and bounds, catching the fluorescent frisbee from the abys of water giving it back to the loyal owner,

Much more thand a dog, a faithful companion; Mans best friend

The children talking a language she cannot understand, the sounds of anger are heard by the unfamiliar stranger. Foreign.

Voices of innocence heard by those of the same kind

The boy who walks in the opposite direction shares a glance with the now self conscious girl.

Too fat. Too pale.

The look terminates and her eyes are distracted by the waves crusading towards her, fizzling out until what is left engulfs her painted toenails and is drawn back out to the monstrosity that is the ocean

Her voyage east across the line of the coast, past so many lives, so many private thoughts and so many secrets that the ocans seas but doesn’t tell
