Uneven runnels between larger outcrops
deepen, getting out to the surf-spray edge,
where waves confront black rocks in loud wallops.
Remarkably, what soothes from safe distance
urges eyes be wary for ‘sneaker wave,’
its crescendo nearby in this instance.
Mussels hiss and mats of bladderwrack weep;
but now, the tide has turned. Ocean water
bathes the starfish, hidden crab take a peek.
