I didn’t mind the rock’s jagged edges

Sun crisping my stomach as I lay across the pockmarks

Pools of tide emptied and filled themselves

As I lay absorbing the heat, soft wind washing

Across my skin, fingers playing on the sharp rock

Watching you play in tidal pools

Remembering a childhood much different from mine
