Low Tide

Low tide

I walk beside you

across mudflats in

my blue gumboots,

over crackling oyster

shells, green-ribbed pipe,

the traces of wading birds.

When the tide is out, what lies exposed:

river threads of mud, old brown stones,

tiny muscles yet to grow;

my sole prince left

to the ocean's

bones.
